A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms may be a completely new tone for the Game of Thrones universe, but it’s still a prequel book, meaning when we meet many of the characters at the tourney in Ashford, we already know how they meet their end, at least in book canon. Aerion Targaryen is burned alive when he decides to drink wildfire to activate his inner dragon, and his brother Daeron perishes after contracting an STD, an apt ending for the royal family’s party boy.
However, a recent slip-up during an interview suggests that what we once thought was a fatal accident for Dunk and Egg may actually have a different ending altogether.
