Blackheart Knights
Author: Laure Eve
Description
Imagine Camelot but in Gotham: a city where Arthurian knights are the celebrities of the day, riding on motorbikes instead of horses and competing in televised fights for fame and money.
“Arthurian legend meets urban fantasy in a brilliant, bloody wild ride” — Jay Kristoff, Sunday Times bestselling author of Aurora Burning
Imagine a city where a young, magic-touched bastard astonishes everyone by becoming king—albeit with extreme reluctance—and a girl with a secret past trains to become a knight for the sole purpose of vengeance.
“The boldest, smartest, most adventurous fantasy I've read in ages” — Krystal Sutherland, author of Our Chemical Hearts
Imagine a city where magic is illegal but everywhere, in its underground bars, its back-alley soothsayers—and in the people who have to hide what they are for fear of being tattooed and persecuted.
Imagine a city where electricity is money, power the only game worth playing, and violence the most fervently worshipped religion.
“King Arthur as you've never seen him before. The coolest thing you'll read this year” — Samantha Shannon, author of The Bone Season and The Priory of the Orange Tree
In this dark, chaotic, alluring place, any dream can come true if you want it hard enough—and if you are prepared to do some very, very bad things to get it . . .
