What if there was more to Westeros than dragons and iron thrones? The “Tales of Dunk and Egg” might just be the hidden gem you need to discover. This spin-off, set to dive deep into the untold history of Westeros, is already making waves with its mysterious leads and compelling storylines. But who exactly are Dunk and Egg, and why should you care?

George R.R. Martin’s novellas introduce this unlikely pair, navigating a dangerous and unpredictable Seven Kingdoms. They exist in a Westeros that’s both familiar yet filled with fresh, untapped potential, setting the stage for the events to unfold in the upcoming HBO series.
