No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians trilogy returns with a triumphant reimagining of the King Arthur legend for the new millennium.
When gifted young knight Collum arrives at Camelot to compete for a place on the Round Table, he quickly discovers that hes too late:The king died two weeks ago at the Battle of Camlann, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table are left.
And the survivors arent the heroes of legend either, like Lancelot or Gawain. Theyre the oddballs of the Round Table, like Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthurs fool, who was knighted as a joke. Theyre joined by Nimue, who was Merlins apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill.
But its up to them to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance, even as God abandons Britain and the fairies and old gods are returning, led by Morgan le Fay. They must reclaim Excalibur and make this ruined world whole again.
But first theyll have to solve the mystery of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell.
The first major Arthurian epic of the new millennium, The Bright Sword is a story about imperfect men and women, full of strength and pain, who are looking for a way to reforge a broken land in spite of being broken themselves.
'For anyone whos ever craved a seat at the Round Table. Utterly enchanting.'
