What Amazon Says:
Westeros is eerily peaceful. King Aerys I sits on the Iron Throne. A ravaging plague has abated. Yet beneath te surface, tensions linger 16 years after a failed rebellion. In these restless times, noble hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall - Dunk, to his friends - and his precocious boy squire, Egg, travel the Seven Kingdoms performing chivarlrous deeds, though Egg's bloodline must be concealed at all costs. After heading north for Winterfell, Dunk and Egg are lured off the kingsroad by a wedding feast - and an unusuall lucrative tournament. The champion jouster will claim a rare trophy indeed: a dragon's egg. Dunk, always better in a melee, would be satisfied with a hot meal, a cup of wine, and a purse full of coins. But a treasonous plot is more likely to hatch before another dragon ever stretches its wings. Someone's on to Egg. And a mystery knight with designs on an even bigger prize soon throws the entire affair into chaos.
This was a good graphic novel. I will read anything in the Game of Thrones world, and since this year there was the HBO show "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" which was about the two main characters in these novels, it may be get back into them. It is a well written story, and I do like graphic novels. Especially when it comes to fantasy worlds - gives good insight into the mind of George RR Martin. This is the 2nd book in this series.
