The Bright Sword: A Novel of King Arthur
by Lev Grossman
Lev Grossman picks up the Arthur legend at its lowest moment — the king dead, Camelot in ashes — and hands the salvage operation to the misfits. The Bright Sword is a melancholy, talky, often funny epic about second-string knights trying to rebuild a world that's already lost its meaning.
