A "richly detailed and evocative" queer retelling of the legend of Sir Lancelot, following the famous knight as he grows up orphaned, falls in love, and attempts to fulfill his destiny at the Round Table - a stunning debut novel from the author of Out East (Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author).
Hidden away on the Isle of Women, a nameless orphan grows up among a powerful sisterhood, but always at a distance. He hears whispers of a prophecy that may shed light on his destiny--and his true identity: Lancelot. Determined to master the skills of knighthood, he begins training in tandem with the handsome Galehaut. As the two become inseparable, they guide one another toward their truest selves. But no matter how tightly they cling to one another, each has a role to play in the wizard Merlin's grand prophecies.
When Lancelot is forced to follow Merlin to Camelot, he fights to protect his heart while seeking the fabled grail alongside King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. But when Roman legionaries encroach on their kingdom, their quest takes on new urgency, as does Lancelot's explosive secret--the truth of what he left behind on the Isle of Women.
Steeped in rich medieval lore, THE LOST BOOK OF LANCELOT is at once an immersive, a poignant love story and an epic, unforgettable tale of a vulnerable boy who is forced to rise to the occasion amid a battle between the old world and the new.

I’m not a big fiction reader and I couldn’t put this one down. Glynn’s writing style is poetic, creating a vivid and imaginative world. Perfect for a poolside summer read. I truly loved this book!!!
What an incredible author, his story-telling is captivating and I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
I loved the world-building so much in this novel. It transported me to another time and is so incredibly cinematic. A page-turner that had me staying up all night. Highly recommend.
I read Son of Achilles and if you enjoyed that you will LOVE this book! Beautifully written, John Glynn is so talented. A must read. 10/10!
This book is incredible.I rarely read novels because I get bored and lose the thread quickly. However, I gave this book a whirl because I’m fascinated with Arthurian legend. I became totally immersed by the second part of the book, and couldn’t stop reading until I got to the end. I’m so sad it’s over. Such an amazing story, exceeded all expectations.
