Sobre este título
Hidden away on the Isle of Women, a nameless orphan grows up among a powerful sisterhood, but always at a distance. He hears whispers of a prophecy that may shed light on his destiny—and his true identity: Lancelot. Determined to master the skills of knighthood, he begins training in tandem with the handsome Galehaut. As the two become inseparable, they guide one another toward their truest selves. But no matter how tightly they cling to one another, each has a role to play in the wizard Merlin's grand prophecies.
When Lancelot is forced to follow Merlin to Camelot, he fights to protect his heart while seeking the fabled grail alongside King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. But when Roman legionaries encroach on their kingdom, their quest takes on new urgency, as does Lancelot's explosive secret—the truth of what he left behind on the Isle of Women.
Steeped in rich medieval lore, THE LOST BOOK OF LANCELOT is at once an immersive, a poignant love story and an epic, unforgettable tale of a vulnerable boy who is forced to rise to the occasion amid a battle between the old world and the new.
Resumo da Crítica
“Glynn's tale lends vulnerability and complexity to a well-known hero, while honoring the character's origins of medieval lore.”—People
"This is a splendid retelling, and retooling, of the Arthurian legends, and in particular of the story of Sir Lancelot. John Glynn, wearing his considerable learning lightly, has fashioned an alternative version of an ancient tale, with a result that is at once vigorous and magical. Camelot will never be the same again."—John Banville, Booker Prize-winning author
“John Glynn has written an astonishing reimagining of Arthurian legend in The Lost Book of Lancelot. The world Glynn creates here is so richly detailed and evocative that I felt completely transported – and stayed awake far too late turning these pages. It was such a joy to step out of the real world and into this one for a while."—Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author
"John Glynn’s enthralling debut is a sensory, sensual retelling of Arthurian legend that feels both timely and timeless. Finally we have a hero’s coming-of-age that echoes the queerness of its origins by weaving together magic, forbidden love, and heartbreak — ultimately resulting in a novel that not only exhilarates, but also heals.”—Justinian Huang, Stonewall Award-winning author of The Emperor and the Endless Palace
""Lyrical, tender, and steeped in legend, John Glynn's The Lost Book of Lancelot reimagines a familiar tale with breathtaking intimacy and emotional depth. A queer epic that draws on medieval lore while daring to explore what destiny demands of the heart."—Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary
“John Glynn’s The Lost Book of Lancelot is a beautiful, romantic reimagining of the Arthurian legend. Glynn strikes an assured balance between the real and the unreal that is endlessly surprising and involving. It’s a stellar debut and I’m already excited to see what he does next.”—Owen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“An empowered queer reclamation of Lancelot’s story. The Lost Book of Lancelot is a touching and heartfelt ode to love, magic and belonging.”—Frances White, USA Today bestselling author of Voyage of the Damned
