my sword and my shield, my liege
just got a new knight! i sure hope his unwavering loyalty, mindless devotion, and tendency to kneel before me to kiss the palm of my hand before he commits atrocities in my name doesn't awaken anything in me
(recommendations for other knight books welcome in the comments!!)

Some other great PB lists of knight-lit: ⚔️ Your knight in shining armor...literally by MadHoney ⚔️ Sword Lesbians by ArchivesNebuleuses
ahh i love this!! (i have private shelf where i put all my lovely knight books). i may have some recs but to be clear, is the general criteria for this list just for it to have a fantasy knight protagonist?
Yes!! I tried to keep it to books that specifically mentioned/classified characters as knights and not just like "castle guard" or something. Hit me with your recs! :)
cool! feel free to reject any/all of these, they’re just ones i’ve heard goods things about/are interested in! The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri Spear by Nicola Griffith Paladin’s Grace by T Kingfisher The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman
I think you might have a duplicate version of The Bright Sword on here, because it only has 3 reviews
I already submitted the name on the duplicate form, but I can switch it to the other one :)
No biggie, I was just surprised when it wasn't marked as finished for me!
