When the Red Widow steals Eustace’s water, Dunk’s comrade-in-arms Ser Bennis draws blood from one of her peasants. Now it falls to Dunk, Egg, and Bennis to raise an army from Eustace’s villages in preparation for her retaliation. But will a rag tag group of peasants be able to stand against her knights and archers? And if they can’t, what will the price be?
