Description

Some family heirlooms gather dust. Excalibur gathered darkness.

For centuries, the legendary sword has carried Morgan le Fay’s curse, bound to witness history but never shape it, condemned to watch kings rise and fall without counsel or comfort. Until Geoffrey Chaucer.

The father of English literature only wants to work on his manuscript. But thoughts of Excalibur crowd his mind, whispers of ancient battles and older betrayals. Curses aren’t real, he tells himself. And if they are, surely a poet doesn’t possess the power to break them.

He’s wrong.

In this inventive retelling, Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales finds its origin in something far stranger than inspiration. Ink becomes weapon. Poetry becomes liberation. And one ordinary man discovers that rewriting destiny requires more than words, it requires courage.
