A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Bevat de verhalen:
- De Hagenridder
- De Eed van Trouw
- De Onbekende Ridder
Voordat Tyrion Lannister en Podderik Peyn op het toneel verschenen, waren er Dunk en Ei. Een tijd waarin de Targaryen-dynastie nog op de IJzeren Troon zat en de herinneringen aan de laatste levende draak nog springlevend waren.
De jonge, naïeve, maar vooral ook heldhaftige hagenridder Ser Duncan, ook wel Dunk genoemd, torent boven al zijn rivalen uit. Zijn metgezel is de piepkleine schildknaap Ei - wiens echte naam, een geheim voor iedereen die hij en Dunk tegenkomen, Aegon Targaryen is.
Onwaarschijnlijker helden zul je in heel Westeros niet vinden, maar het lot heeft vel in petto voor dit tweetal... Zo ook een hoop machtige vijanden, koninklijke intriges en absurde uitbuiters.

Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: The Hero, sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed.
In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern.
As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher.
In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79.
Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93.
Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.
