Lev Grossman, the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians trilogy, presents a captivating reimagining of the Arthurian legend for our modern era. 'The Bright Sword' has garnered high praise from literary giants, with George R.R. Martin urging readers to dive in, and Joe Abercrombie lauding its 'beautifully written, suitably weird, very human take on King Arthur'.

Our tale begins as Collum, a talented young knight, arrives at Camelot with aspirations of joining the Round Table. However, he's met with a stark reality: King Arthur has perished at the Battle of Camlann a fortnight prior, leaving only a handful of knights remaining.

These survivors are not the legendary figures of lore, but rather the Round Table's more eccentric members. Among them are Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthur's jester-turned-knight. They're joined by Nimue, Merlin's former apprentice who betrayed and entombed him beneath a hill.

In a Britain abandoned by God, where fairies and ancient deities led by Morgan le Fay are resurfacing, this unlikely band must rebuild Camelot. Their mission: to reclaim Excalibur and restore balance to a fractured world. But first, they must unravel the mystery behind the fall of the enigmatic and brilliant King Arthur.

'The Bright Sword' is a gripping narrative of flawed yet resilient individuals, burdened by their own struggles, who strive to mend a broken land. It's a tale that reminds us why we're drawn to fantasy, offering a fresh perspective on a timeless legend for the new millennium.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
