These 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.

This first of two short stories is a prequel to a novel that delves into the world of big utilities, big coal, and the battle for green energy.

The transformation of the boy from a poor coal miner to a successful executive juxtaposes corporate bottom lines with his original Eastern Kentucky roots of humility and honesty.
