The book's tapestry of ancient rites, sacred quests, and the ever-present tension between old gods and new will give you the same immersive, legendary feel.

If the clear sense of quest and destiny in The Green Knight resonated with you, you'll find much to love in The Once and Future King.

Each character is driven by purpose, and the story's episodic adventures capture that sense of mission and longing for honor you enjoyed.
