These are the three novellas that tell the story of the Hedge Knight, one Sir Duncan the Tall, and his squire, Egg.
The first two were published in the Legends anthologies, edited by Robert Silverberg.
"The Hedge Knight" -
"The Sworn Sword" -
The third story is coming out this month in the new Warriors anthology:
"The Mystery Knight" -
These stories give the readers a glimpse into Westeros about 80 - 100 years before the events of A Game of Thrones. We see a land ruled by the Targaryen family, and the noble families that follow them.
"The Hedge Knight" was the story that first introduced me to GRRM. When I read it, I simply had to get my hands on the main series. It is still one of my favorite fantasy stories.
"The Sworn Sword" continues the adventures. Both of these first two have been adapted to graphic novel versions. I have the first, and it was done nicely.
I'm really looking forward to reading "The Mystery Knight" later this month.
