Set one hundred years before the events in George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Sworn Sword follows the adventures of Ser Duncan and his squire, Egg, as they quest for honor and glory in the Seven Kingdoms.

After the deaths, surprises, and heroics in The Hedge Knight, Dunk and Egg continue their journey in search of the fair puppeteer Tanselle. Along the way, the elderly knight Ser Eustace takes both men under his charge, alongside another knight--and this one promises trouble. Peace is ever elusive for Dunk and Egg, as they are soon embroiled in the schemes of local nobility, while a darker, greater thread threatens to unravel long-held truths of the Battle of Redgrass Field.

In classic George R.R. Martin fashion, heroes and villains are never clear-cut, and political alliances threaten to slice the deepest. Yet one path lies ahead for Dunk and Egg: onward toward destiny. Join them as they venture along a now-familiar world but in a time all-new!

Collecting The Hedge Knight II: The Sworn Sword #1-6, this special edition comes packed with over twenty-five pages of bonus material!

About the Author

George R.R. Martin sold his first story in 1971 and has been writing professionally since then. He spent ten years in Hollywood as a writer-producer, working on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and television pilots that were never made. In the mid ‘90s he returned to prose, his first love, and began work on his epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. Whenever he’s allowed to leave, he returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with the lovely Parris and two cats named Augustus and Caligula, who think they run the place.

Ben Avery is a lead writer and editor with Kingstone Comics. His comic book career began when he was selected by George R.R. Martin to work as the script adaptor of the comic book fantasy miniseries The Hedge Knight, based on novellas by the New York Times best-selling author. After that, he went on to co-write/co-create the critically acclaimed Lullaby and The Imaginaries for Image Comics, co-create and write the children’s literature inspired fantasy The Oz/Wonderland Chronicles, develop and write the historical epic Kingdoms for Zondervan, and the sequel miniseries The Hedge Knight II, published by Marvel Comics. Javier Saltares is a well-respected comic veteran with long creative stints at both Marvel and Dark Horse Comics with such projects as Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and Moon Knight. In The Book of God he delivers a masterful performance in illustrating a divinely historical process.

Mike S. Miller is a veteran comic book artist, working on comic books ranging from Superman to Wolverine. Mike is also the cofounder and art director for Alias Enterprises and Cross Culture Entertainment.

    I'm a storyteller. I love telling stories in almost any medium: comic books, novels, puppets, animation, whatever! I've been privileged to work with some AMAZING artists on comic book projects. My first professional work was with George R.R. Martin, taking his Hedge Knight novellas and turning them into graphic novel scripts. Since then, I've worked for Image, Marvel, and Zondervan with the previously mentioned AMAZING artists who made my stories look good. I have a passion for all ages storytelling, which is why I co-created TIMEFLYZ and ARMORQUEST. More recently, I have been adapting Bible stories into comic books and I have just released my first novel, GHOSTS OF THE FUTURE, a old-school feeling sci-fi novel. I've also begun editing some anthologies with other sci-fi writers! Writing is my passion, but I get to tell stories in my day job, too! I'm a children's pastor in northern Indiana, where I live in a converted church with my wife and five kids.

Great ebook and great tale
The ebook it just great! The new feature that the kindle (and kindle app) has for graphic novels works very well and improves the experience a lot. I don't really enjoy reading graphic novel in the kindle and I would strongly recommend the ebook version for those who own a tablet. The history is great, it not as good as The Hedge Knight but it is a good tale. It is a must for Game of Thrones fans!

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2016

The graphic novel adaptation of the second of George R.R. Martin's Dunk & Egg novellas, not only stays true to the originally written story but gives it life with fantastic renderings of all the characters, the locales, and the action. Drawn by artist Mike S. Miller and livened by colorist Mike Crowell, "The Sworn Sword" gives both "Game of Thrones" book and show fans a great look into the history of the Seven Kingdoms as Ser Duncan (Dunk) the Tall and the future King Aegon (Egg) V learn about the greatest threat to the Targaryen throne nearly a century before Robert’s Rebellion—the Blackfyre Rebellion.

The story begins almost two years after "The Hedge Knight", Dunk and Egg are in the service to Sir Eustace Osgrey who holds a small tower but reminisces about his family’s ancient glory and his own immediate family’s misfortune. A nearly two year drought has gripped Westeros after the Great Spring Sickness—think the Black Death—resulting in water and people being short, which is when Ser Eustace’s stream disappears. After Dunk and another sworn sword, Ser Bennis, search upstream they discover that Ser Eustace’s neighbor Lady Webber has built a dam to divert the water. Soon things escalate and the two nobles begin to lob threats and promise blood vengeance as Dunk tries to find a way to make peace.

Of the work surrounding the graphic novel itself, I can only praise the work of Miller and Crowell who not only brought into visual life Dunk and Egg but so many other historically important characters in very consistent way throughout the entire book. It is hard to find fault with the work of these two men save with pointing out a few continuity errors, which unfortunately happen in every graphic novel. But when it came to the memories of Ser Eustace Osgrey about the Battle of the Redgrass Field that ended the threat of Daemon Blackfyre, the artwork is fantastic and brings the memories of the battle alive and giving justice to some of Martin’s best writing.

If you're a fan of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" world and haven't gotten this book yet I, what are you waiting for? I highly recommend this graphic novel adaptation of "The Sworn Sword" as well as the novella itself, you won’t be disappointed.

This book is wonderfully illustrated, adding visual representation to the original storybook. I wondered if this offering could be as interesting. It was even more so due to outstanding illustrations and use of color being the perfect conduit connecting story to action. I'm looking forward to continue this series. Well done!

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017

The 2nd book of the series "The Hedge Knight" is a very interesting tale of a Knight named "Sir Dunkin The Tall", who travels with his companion, Egg. As a hedge knight, they travel the fantasy continent of Westeros, often times running into trouble of their own and taking service for Lords who live within the Kingdom of which Sir Dunkin serves; in this age before the current events of A Song of Ice and Fire/ Game of Thrones, and about 200 years before Roberts Rebellion, this is just an amazing spin off to the classics of R.R. Martins work. I enjoyed this read, the pictures are a work of art, and the story behind the story is addictive in its own right when it comes to details about this fairytale kingdom. Only problem I have is that it's too short. (Still took me a little over a couple hours to read.)

As I said in "The Hedge Knight" graphic novel review, this is a fantastic read! We follow "Dunk" and "Egg" on another adventure in the land of Westeros. I'll post my Hedge Knight review below since the same applies to this:

Although I don't have the novels, this was a fantastic story and well worth the money! These could make for an interesting spin-off TV series if HBO & GRRM ever decided to. Inside, the art and colors are well done, with characters drawn looking more realistic. [And the same artists who did the work on "The Hedge Knight" are back for this -- thankfully!] There is plenty of speaking and background given, so don't dismiss this as being a "picture book." I already want to re-read both Hedge Knight graphic novels to pick up more details I may have missed. There's a lot going on, and a lot of characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great graphic novel about a knight and his squire
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is a great interpretation of the novel written by George RR Martin. I've read the book as well and this graphic novel is almost exactly the same as the book. The only difference is that there are a few subtle things that can be lost in the comic, (eg. someone wearing fancy rich people clothes that just appear to be regular medieval clothes in the comic book.) Other than that, this graphic novel is great and can be enjoyed by all ages. As an adult, I love it and the content is fine for a kid too unlike the other GoT books. This book takes place a hundred years before the GoT a Song of Ice and Fire series takes place. The content is much less mature in that it lacks the sex, violence, and incest of the other series. There are lots of tourneys and knights though which is great. Also you get to see more Targaryens before they became nearly extinct.

Le livre est d'une grande qualité, le format est adéquat. Je ne peux pas juger de son contenu puisque je l'ai acheté pour l'offrir (en même temps que "The Hedge Knight : The Graphic Novel" du même auteur) mais son destinataire, qui a lu la série Game of Thrones en anglais, l'a beaucoup apprécié et vite lu.

The story of dunk and egg continues as they left Ashford Meadow after all the chaos. A new story set in a different part of seven kingdom with 2 of our main characters and few new and interesting characters. I must say sometimes the extended stories of any famous series can be a bit boring but GRRM has done a full justice with them. They are filled with interesting references of bigger events, characters and they themselves have very important roles in the main series with all kind of turn and twists. Normally the graphical adaptation are not so apt but this along with the first part "The Hedge Knight" is noway lesser than the actual novella. The artwork is also quite appealing. Now I am eagrly waiting for the graphical version of 3rd part "The Mystery Knight" which is set to be released in July, 2017
