Plot Overview
“A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
George R. R. Martin describes the new series as having a different tone from Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, with a shorter format but maintaining the same sense of danger and adventure.
