The Forever King
Molly Cochran & Warren Murphy · 3 novels · 1992–2003
The Forever King, by Molly Cochran and Warren Murphy, reimagines the Arthurian legend with a contemporary setting, bringing King Arthur's story back into the present day. It's the first of a trilogy continued in The Broken Sword and The Third Magic, following the same modern-day Arthur premise through further installments. The series takes the familiar Arthurian cast and mythology and resets them against the present rather than retelling the medieval original.
