Books like Sword of Darkness by Kinley MacGregor
Set against a backdrop of a broken Arthurian realm, "Sword of Darkness" follows a new, unshining king of Camelot whose reign is threatened by a former youth turned tyrant, Kerrigan, who wields ruthless power. The story weaves through dark forests and London, bringing a spirited, peasant‑turned‑heroine named Seren into the conflict. Her bravery and unyielding spirit challenge Kerrigan’s ambition, compelling both to confront a reality where kindness can become a fatal weakness. As time travel blurs the lines between past and present, the narrative explores whether compassion can triumph over tyranny or if destiny leads to destruction.
