Contemporary fantasy books inspired by the legend of King Arthur & related characters - not just Merlin, Lancelot, or the other knights of the roundtable, but the women centered in the myth whose stories are so often cast aside, including Morgana, Guinevere and Nimue. These books center the women of Arthurian legend and their perspectives, or take a feminist spin on the classic Arthurian tale.

A collection of books across different genres (mostly historical fiction/ YA and fantasy) with Lady Knights ⚔️ Most books have queer main or side characters 🏳️‍🌈 I'm constantly editing this list so please feel free to share recs in the comments! 🌟 (I haven't read all of the books on this list yet)
