该剧基于George R.R. Martin的短篇小说系列“Tales of Dunk and Egg”创作。
在《权力的游戏》故事发生的一个世纪前，两位并非大家心目中的英雄在维斯特洛大陆游荡。一位是年轻、天真但勇敢的骑士“高个”邓肯爵士（彼得·克拉菲 Peter Claffey 饰），另一位是他身材矮小的侍从伊戈（德克斯特·索尔·安塞尔 Dexter Sol Ansell 饰），即后来的伊耿·坦格利安五世。。在这个时代，坦格利安家族仍然掌握着铁王座，人们对最后一条龙的记忆也还尚未消失，伟大的命运、强劲的敌人和充满危险的英勇行为都在等待着这对意料之外又不可比拟的朋友。
To the streets, “Raq” Thomas is cold, hard and fierce — a successful and deadly woman taking names in a man’s world. She is tough, resolute, ruthless, but Raq still is capable of love. Great love. The sole recipient of that affection is her son, Kanan; he is everything to her. As much as she cares for him, though, there are many instances where one wonders if she loves him for who he is or if she loves him merely as an extension of herself. The middle child of three, Raq also carries the heavy burden as the earner for her two brothers. She is the sun, and everyone else in her universe exists in her orbit.
