A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0345533488?keywords=george%20r%20r%20martin&qid=1444230853&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
Taking place nearly a century before the events of A Game of Thrones, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R. R. Martins ongoing masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. These never-before-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 rivalsin stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Eggwhose 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.
Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isnt deadyet.

I am very conflicted about this...

OP
I think only the illustrations are new. The book is a compilation of previous material.

From one of the reviews at your link:
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin is not an entirely new offering. It is a compilation of three earlier novellas - The Hedge Knight (1998), The Sworn Sword (2003) and The Mystery Knight (2010)...

His actual name was Duncan, but he was nicknamed Dunk.
