Synopsis

Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table.

Sir Balin the Ill-Fated
Which makes destiny a splendid thing for King Arthur and his noble knights, but what about a knight who is destined to bring disaster to everything he touches? Such a knight is poor Sir Balin, who bears the burden of a childhood prophecy of doom. And sure enough, whenever he’s around, things seem to go sour. Whether he’s battling an invisible knight or accidentally overthrowing kingdoms, Sir Balin does his best but always expects the worst.

Will Sir Balin finally discover his true destiny? And which ill-fated path will he choose? Join him in this latest gallant adventure from the acclaimed Arthurian author Gerald Morris.

Gerald Morris loves to visit the world of knights and chivalry in his books, but he’d rather not live there. He’s much happier living in the twenty-first century in Wausau, Wisconsin. Gerald is also the author of ten books in The Squire’s Tales series.

Watered down version of his young adult novels. This format makes the knights' tales accessible to younger readers, but the stories lack spark and voice.......more

Goodreads review by Joseph on January 27, 2025

I've had a tumultuous relationship with Gerald Morris, but I'm pleasantly surprised to end it on a strong note. This book actually has a lot of the problems that have turned me off from his other books (subverting the point of the story that he's retelling, Flanderization, heroine who's Not Like Oth......more
