About this item
The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman, acclaimed by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and more, reimagines the Arthurian legend for the new millennium.
In this fresh take, young knight Collum arrives at Camelot too late, discovering King Arthur has died at the Battle of Camlann, leaving Britain without a clear successor. Only a few of the Round Table knights survive, not the renowned heroes but the overlooked figures like Sir Palomides and Sir Dagonet. They, along with Nimue, Merlin’s former apprentice, set out to rebuild Camelot amidst chaos.
Arthur’s death unearths Britain’s deep-seated issues. As fairies, monsters, and old gods return, Morgan le Fay, Arthur’s half-sister, leads the turmoil. With kingdoms in disarray and warlords besieging Camelot, Collum and his companions must reclaim Excalibur and unravel the mysteries of a fractured world. Their journey requires confronting the ghosts of Arthur’s past and Britain’s dark history.
Grossman, known for The Magicians trilogy, presents the first major Arthurian epic of this era, blending tradition with contemporary themes. The Bright Sword is a tale of imperfect, resilient characters striving to mend a broken land, offering a captivating narrative filled with duels, quests, and the struggle to rebuild in the face of adversity. This enchanting story, praised by Rebecca Yarros and George R. R. Martin, promises to captivate anyone with a passion for the legends of King Arthur. 📚❤️
