Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
The Bright Sword reimagines the Arthurian legend at the moment everything has already gone wrong. When the young knight Collum reaches Camelot, hoping to earn a seat at the Round Table, he finds a kingdom in mourning. Arthur is dead, killed at Camlann, and the age of heroes appears to be over.
Those who remain are not the figures of song and story. They include outsiders, misfits and those once dismissed or mocked. Sir Palomides, the Saracen knight. Sir Dagonet, raised to knighthood as a joke. Nimue, once Merlin’s student, now his betrayer. Together they face a Britain slipping out of balance, where faith is fading and older powers are returning to claim the land.
As Morgan le Fay gathers strength and the old gods stir, the fate of the realm depends on reclaiming Excalibur and understanding the truth behind Arthur’s fall. The Bright Sword is a bold, thoughtful fantasy about legacy, belief and what survives when legends fail.
