Dunk was a knight who remembered the vows: to protect the weak and innocent. But that may have cost him everything when he protects a young woman from the malevolent Prince Aerion Targaryen. Now Dunk's simple dream — to ride in the tournament — has finally come true in a twisted turn of fate. No more are the spoils of a mock battle at stake. He must now fight for his innocence, his honor, and his life! With six unlikely allies at his side, Dunk takes to the battlefield in the deadly trial by seven! Swords are no longer blunted. Tourney lances are traded in for war lances tipped with steel! The battle is joined as The Hedge Knight rides to its brutal and tragic conclusion! Available in two cover versions by Mike S. Miller and Anders Finer.
