The Witch, the Sword, and the Cursed Knights

Synopsis

Perfect for fans of The School for Good and Evil and A Tale of Magic…, this Barnes & Noble Children&’s Book Award finalist and Amazon Best Book of the Month is a charming fantasy debut that puts a new spin on the legend of Camelot Twelve-year-old Ellie can&’t help that she&’s a witch, the most hated member of society. Determined to prove her worth and eschew her heritage, Ellie applies to the Fairy Godmother Academy—her golden ticket to societal acceptance. But Ellie&’s dreams are squashed when she receives the dreaded draft letter to serve as a knight of King Arthur&’s legendary Round Table. She can get out of the draft—but only if she saves a lost cause. Enter Caedmon, a boy from Wisconsin struggling with the death of his best friend. He first dismisses the draft as ridiculous; magic can&’t possibly exist. But when Merlin&’s ancient magic foretells his family&’s death if he doesn&’t follow through, he travels to the knights&’ castle, where he learns of a wicked curse leeching the knights of their power. To break the curse, Ellie and Caedmon must pass a series of deathly trials and reforge the lost, shattered sword of Excalibur. And unless Ellie accepts her witch magic and Caedmon rises to become the knight he&’s meant to be, they will both fail—and the world will fall to the same darkness that brought King Arthur and Camelot to ruin.
