“Malory’s Knights of Albion is a shared-world series published by Abaddon Books that reimagines Arthurian legends as dark historical fantasy. Paul Finch contributed The Black Chalice, one of three books in the series alongside The Savage Knight and Dark North. Each novel follows a different knight of the Round Table on an independent quest.”
The series takes the familiar characters of Arthurian myth and drops them into gritty, violent stories that owe more to historical fiction than to romantic fantasy. Paul Finch’s contribution fits alongside his broader interest in dark genre fiction, applying horror sensibilities to a medieval setting. The books can be read in any order, as each tells a complete story with its own protagonist.
