A note for parents
This prequel collection is more accessible than the main A Song of Ice and Fire series but still contains medieval fantasy violence and mature themes. The stories center on a likeable protagonist whose growth and loyalty to his young squire demonstrate strong values, making it suitable for older teens comfortable with fantasy action. Language is present but not gratuitous, and sexual content is minimal. The books reward courage, honor, and compassion despite the dangerous world.

"Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. These never-before-collected adventures recount an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living consciousness. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there was Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals--in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg--whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two... as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits" -- Dust jacket flap.
