A body in the lake. A castle on the ridge. And a town where the new police chief turned up in the mayor's backyard... with amnesia... riding a stolen horse.
Welcome to Camelot, West Virginia-a town where the legends are old, the secrets run deep, and nothing ever goes quite the way it should.
Mayor Dreama Avalon just wants to save her hometown. Once a coal-fueled jewel of the Appalachian hills, Camelot is now clinging to its crumbling castle, a run-down main street, and a tourism plan that's mostly fairy dust and desperation. Dreama's ready to rebuild. But when a former beauty queen turns up dead-after handing out her own funeral playlist-her plans take a sharp detour.
Enter Roy Pendragon: mysterious, brooding, possibly magical... and definitely not from around here. Dreama finds him passed out in her backyard, claiming amnesia and riding her sister-in-law's stolen horse. So naturally, she makes him police chief. Because in Camelot? That's just how things go.
As Dreama and her reluctant white knight dig into the case, they'll unearth small-town secrets, opioid fallout, ghostly visions, and a castle that might be more enchanted than advertised. With help from a ragtag crew of barflies, backwoods witches, and one very determined bartender, it's going to take grit, gall, and a little mountain magic to keep Camelot from falling apart.
This Deluxe Edition also includes two exclusive prequel novellas that deepen the lore, heart, and humor of Camelot:
