A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms spoilers follow.
Enjoying A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? It’s no surprise – and that’s why you’re reading this! The newest series from the world of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones releases episodes every Monday on Sky Atlantic. Like many viewers, we’re completely captivated by the towering knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his quick-witted squire, Egg.
This series currently adapts only the first story featuring Dunk and Egg, The Hedge Knight. Fans are now wondering what adventures we might see these characters embark on in the future.
What to Read Next
Since the show stays very true to the book, we can expect future seasons to follow the same path. Therefore, be warned – everything from this point on could contain spoilers.
What are the other Dunk and Egg stories?
Ira Parker, the lead producer of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, shared that George R.R. Martin has given him an outline for a total of twelve additional stories they intend to work on together.
Okay, I have to say, I admire Marin’s optimism, but it’s been 15 years since he first promised us the final two Game of Thrones books, and honestly, I’m not expecting them anytime soon. Let’s just say I’m trying to keep my expectations low!
We don’t know what the other twelve stories are about, unfortunately, although we do have titles for a few. Luckily, three stories have already been published, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms only adapts one of them. Here’s a preview of what’s still to come:
The Sworn Sword
In the second story featuring Dunk and Egg, Dunk is working as a knight for Ser Eustace Osgrey. A small argument between Ser Eustace and his neighbor, Lady Webber, about access to water for the local farmers quickly grows into a dangerous feud that could lead to a full-scale war between their families.
The story of the Blackfyre rebellion against the Targaryens feels like a painting from the Pre-Raphaelite era: think stunning, sorrowful widows in decaying castles, clashing knights, and plots within the royal family.
Like other books in the series, this one includes glimpses into Westeros’s past, but it doesn’t focus on major historical events like Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon. Instead, it’s a thrilling adventure, similar to the tales of King Arthur’s knights.
The Mystery Knight
While traveling to Winterfell to assist the Starks against attacks by Greyjoy raiders, Dunk and Egg come across a company of knights and lesser nobles heading to a wedding – the marriage of Lord Butterwell to the oldest daughter of House Frey.
Fans of Game of Thrones get a surprising and amusing moment when Walder Frey – the cruel character who was famously killed and served as pie filling by Arya Stark – briefly appears as a young boy, around four years old.
Appearances are deceiving, and loyalties shift quickly – good guys become bad, and vice versa. For most of the story, we’re immersed in a world of gray morality, much like Game of Thrones. However, the ending is surprisingly neat, and some might even call it a convenient, unexpected solution.
The remaining tales
The fourth planned novella was originally going to be called The She-Wolves of Winterfell and was expected to come out in 2012, but it never did.
Originally planned for 2014, the next Dunk and Egg story, The Village Hero, is now confirmed to be published in January 2025, according to Martin. However, he also stated that no new Dunk and Egg stories will appear until he completes The Winds of Winter, the next book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series – and fans are still eagerly awaiting that book.
Martin has also hinted at titles like The Sellsword, The Champion, The Kingsguard, and The Lord Commander. These books will cover the entire story of Dunk and Egg, from beginning to end. Fans familiar with the history of Westeros already know this story, and unfortunately, it doesn’t have a happy conclusion.
NB: Big, big spoilers for Dunk and Egg follow
So, after Aegon becomes king – Aegon V, officially – and I, as Dunk, get made Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, the little bits of backstory George R.R. Martin has given us reveal this crazy thing: Aegon tries to hatch a dragon egg. It doesn’t go well. Like, really doesn’t go well. He ends up burning down most of the palace, and sadly, that means a lot of people die, including both him and me, Dunk. It’s a pretty tragic end, honestly.
However, things could still turn out well if Martin manages a surprising turn of events – perhaps a daring escape with a clever disguise?
You can watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms every Monday at 9pm on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
