The Sworn Sword is the second in George R. R. Martin's Tales of Dunk & Egg, following the story of the hedge knight Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg, a year and a half after the events of The Hedge Knight. It was first published in the Legends II anthology series, a collection of short stories by authors such as Tad Williams, Orson Scott Card, and Neil Gaiman.
The novella focuses on the difficult path of chivalry when taking part in petty feuds and casual injustices are part and parcel of what it means to be a sworn man in the feudal Seven Kingdoms.

A year and a half after The Hedge Knight, the Seven Kingdoms are suffering from a terrible summer drought, which in turn had followed the Great Spring Sickness. Dunk has sworn his sword to Ser Eustace Osgrey of Standfast in the Reach. Eustace is an old, done knight who dwells on the dual-losses of his family and its ancient honors.
Dunk and Egg return to Standfast from a short journey to Dosk for supplies. Upon their return, they discover that a local stream has dried up while they were gone. Suspicious, and unheeding of the warning by fellow sworn sword Ser Bennis of the Brown Shield, Dunk sends Egg ahead to Standfast and goes to investigate. Upstream Dunk and Bennis they discover that a dam has been built on the order of Lady Rohanne Webber of Coldmoat. When the workmen refuse to take down the dam, Ser Bennis cuts one of them with his longsword.
