Arthurian legend meets steampunk adventure

Avalon is recast as a city of sky towers and airships, with dinosaurs roaming its parklands and corruption shaping life beyond the central library where Guinevere works as an archivist. The discovery of a map to Excalibur draws her into a struggle over the throne and a search for the legendary sword. To stay ahead of those pursuing her, she joins forces with two notorious bounty hunters. The first installment of the One Sword Saga combines Arthurian mythology with a 1920s-inspired fantasy setting, bringing together courtly power struggles, smugglers, and uneasy trust.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in Arthurian legends reimagined as fantasy.
  • Readers who enjoy adventure premises involving mythical objects, political plots, and unlikely alliances.
  • Fans of steampunk settings with airships and dinosaurs.

Book overview

Avalon, city of kings. Sky towers and airships dominate its skyline, dinosaurs roam freely throughout its parklands, and bounty hunters lurk in its shadows.

Guinevere has always lived on the outskirts of Avalon, working as an archivist in the central library. While corruption runs rampant throughout the city, her life is fairly mundane and predictable. That is, until she discovers the map to Excalibur and uncovers a plot to usurp the throne.

Finding herself on the run from these would-be king-slayers, Guinevere sets out to find the mythical sword. But with no one to trust and no where to hide, she must form an uneasy alliance with a pair of notorious bounty hunters.

"My future, and the future of Avalon are forward."

Rise of Knight and Sword is the first installment of the One Sword Saga. It reimagines Arthurian legend in a steampunk fantasy world at the height of the 1920's. Follow Guinevere and her crew as they face off against smugglers, wild dinosaurs, hidden motives, and mistrust.
