Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.”
The cast of A Knight of Seven Kingdoms is headlined by Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell. They play the lead characters Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg, respectively. Supporting cast members include Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, Tanzyn Crawford, Daniel Ings, and Sam Spruell.
