The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman
In "The Bright Sword," a young knight named Collum arrives at Camelot, only to discover that King Arthur has recently died, leaving the kingdom in disarray. With no heir to the throne, the remaining knights of the Round Table are a diverse group of lesser-known figures, including Sir Palomides and Sir Dagonet. They are joined by Nimue, once Merlin's apprentice, who now seeks to restore balance to the land. As Britain faces chaos, with mythical creatures and old gods reemerging, Collum and his companions embark on a quest to reclaim Excalibur and rebuild Camelot. They must navigate a fractured world, where alliances are shifting, and rival factions vie for power. Their journey will uncover the truth behind King Arthur's downfall and confront the shadows of Britain's past, as they strive to bring unity and hope back to the realm.
