Hello everyone!!
Who doesn't love a good retelling? I certainly do love them and especially if they are also queer. In 2022 we are seeing many queer retellings that are been published, so today we are going to highlight some of them. Some are already out and others are releasing later in the year.

Retelling: King Arthur
The girl knows she has a destiny before she even knows her name. She grows up in the wild, in a cave with her mother, but visions of a faraway lake come to her on the spring breeze, and when she hears a traveler speak of Artos, king of Caer Leon, she knows that her future lies at his court.
And so, brimming with magic and eager to test her strength, she breaks her covenant with her mother and, with a broken hunting spear and mended armour, rides on a bony gelding to Caer Leon. On her adventures she will meet great knights and steal the hearts of beautiful women. She will fight warriors and sorcerers. And she will find her love, and the lake, and her fate.
