The first instalment of a series about myth and magic, inspired by the legends of Avalon. This cast of characters have many accents and styles, from Texan to to Trinidadian. The beautiful, florid prose was a delight to read. (Alyssa says hello.)

In Avalon, Albion discovers he is the last scion of the Pendragon line, a bloodline long thought extinguished after centuries of betrayal, war, and sorrow. Bound by ancient magic to the legendary Excalibur, Albion struggles against the crushing expectations of a broken world desperate for salvation. Torn between loyalty to friends and distrust of the powerful figures who claim to guide him, Albion must navigate a kingdom plagued by civil war, corrupted magic, and conspiracies older than the myths themselves.
