Bookseller recommendation

“This magical retelling of Arthurian legend takes readers into a world they may not recognize where fae and human live side by side though neither is trusting of the other. Join Nimue a young fae girl with a huge destiny. Together she and sell-sword Arthur will set out on a quest to find the ancient wizard Merlin and deliver to him the sword of power. But fanatic red paladins are after the sword too and they'll stop at nothing to keep Nimue from her Destiny. Narrated by Katherine Langford, the actress portraying Nimue in the upcoming Netflix adaptation.”

Summary
About the author

Now an original series starring Katherine Langford on Netflix!

The Lady of the Lake is the true hero in this cinematic twist on the tale of King Arthur created by Thomas Wheeler and legendary artist, producer, and director Frank Miller (300, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City). Featuring 8 full-color and 30 black-and-white pieces of original artwork by Frank Miller.

Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King.

But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen?

Nimue grew up an outcast. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave…

That is, until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue’s fate is forever altered. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people’s only hope. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else.

Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family, and discover the truth about her destiny.

But perhaps the one thing that can change Destiny itself is found at the edge of a blade.
