Le choix des textes, composé par Julien Gracq pour cette lecture, invite à suivre "la trace sinueuse du voyage de l'auteur". Le rivage des Syrtes : une guerre où rien ne se passe pour celui qui est chargé d'observer le bord d'une mer éternellement vide, et qui attend, jusqu'au jour où l'appel de ce pays, de l'autre côté, se fait entendre comme la voix de son destin.

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. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there were 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 (hidden from all he and Dunk encounter) is Aegon Targaryen.
