About this book
Collum, a young and talented knight from the middle of nowhere, travels to Camelot to join the Round Table and meet King Arthur. He arrives two weeks too late: Arthur has died at the battle of Camlann, leaving no heir, and only a handful of knights survive, among them odd fringe figures such as Sir Palomides and Arthur's fool, Dagonet.
With the sorceress Nimue, they set out to find a worthy heir and put the broken kingdom back together, while the old gods and monsters return and Arthur's half-sister Morgan le Fay watches. Lev Grossman's novel is set after the legend ends.
