A beautifully-written queer retelling of Percival, of Arthurian myth. The writing has that lofty, old-timey feel in parts, but it never drags. It's a quick read, and Peretur's steadfast sense of right and wrong and of what's good left me feeling recharged.
Graphic: Death, Violence, and Death of parent
Moderate: Infertility
Minor: Sexual assault, Domestic abuse, and Sexual content
