A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire Prequel)

Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, this volume compiles the first three official prequel novellas. These 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.

Recommended by Mr. Halacy, History Teacher: “Fun read and a prequel to the Game of Thrones series told in three short stories set in Westeros. Gives the book series more depth and background.”
