Sin saberlo, ambos van a trabajar en el mismo campamento de verano: Russ espera poner suficiente distancia con su padre, mientras que Aurora solo desea volver al último lugar donde se sintió como en casa.
Russ sabe perfectamente que tiene prohibido «fraternizar» con Aurora si no quiere que lo echen. Desgraciadamente para él, a ella nunca le han importado mucho las reglas...
Ahora solo les queda descubrir si las chispas que saltaron entre ellos durante su primera noche quedarán en nada o si, por el contrario, lo incendiarán todo.

These collected 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. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne, there was Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.
When the Bus Driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place: a pigeon! But you’ve never met a pigeon like this one before. As the Pigeon pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, readers answer back and decide his fate.
