Much like the rest ofGame of Thrones,prophecies come true, but in ways we don’t expect.
Princess Rhaella was one of the few Targaryens to escape the fire,likely rescued by Dunk.
Dunks search for purpose is a recurring theme in the short stories.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is based on George R. R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas and is set around 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones. It follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, who would later become King Aegon V Targaryen.
This story follows Dunk & Egg as they uncover a Blackfyre conspiracy during a tourney at Whitewalls.
With Dunks help, Bloodraven exposes the rebellion and arrests the conspirators.
Aside from Bloodraven, we can expect some other notable Game of Thrones characters to appear.
The reviled Lord Walder Frey makes a fun appearance inThe Mystery Knight.
More interestingly,Maester Aemon will likely appearin the show at some point in the future.
Aemon is Eggs older brother but has already begun his maester training at Oldtown.
Egg eventually banishes Brynden Rivers to the Nights Watch when he ascends the throne.
