Fantasy Book Critic: The Hedge Knight II: The Sworn Sword out Wednesday! And more books for pre-order at The Signed Page

Just a reminder that on Wednesday, June 20, Dabel Brothers Productions / Marvel is releasing issue one of The Sworn Sword, a sequel to the acclaimed mini-series "The Hedge Knight" (2003), an adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s novella of the same name which serves as a prequel to his New York Times Best-Selling epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. The Hedge Knight II: The Sworn Sword features the same creative team of Mike S. Miller and Ben Avery (The Hedge Knight) and will run six issues, with #1 sporting a variant cover by Leinil Yu (Wolverine, New Avengers) as well as a sketch variant of the Mike Miller cover.

“Taking place in the realm of Westeros roughly 100 years before the events of A Song of Ice and Fire, The Hedge Knight II: The Sworn Sword continues the adventures of young knight Dunk and his squire Egg who have taken service under Ser Eustace Osgrey of Standfast, a bitter old man whose family once ruled the land of Coldmoat. But after Ser Eustace's other sworn sword makes a poor choice and angers Lady Rohanne Webber of Coldmoat, Dunk is caught in a clash between nobles, and forced to choose whether he will abandon his honor for his principles... or find a way to stand for both…”
