Are you chivalrous enough to be a Knight of the New Round Table—and win the chance to be a real knight for the day?
To celebrate the release of the new Knights of Albion series of Arthurian adventure, Abaddon Books is on the hunt for “knights in shining armour” to sit on a 21st Century King Arthur’s Round Table—and they could win the chance to be a real knight for a day.
Whether it’s rescuing a princess from a dragon or just opening doors for your beloved, wannabe Sir Galahads can tell Abaddon why they should earn a place at Arthur’s side by on this page.
The most chivalrous are in with a chance to win an exclusive day of training from experts at a specialist jousting facility where they’ll undertake the essential training that no aspiring knight would be without—from swordplay to donning armour. The day will be crowned with a thrilling live demonstration of jousting.
PR Coordinator Michael Molcher tells SFScope “the winner will be selected by our very own knight—professional jouster and CEO of Rebellion, Jason Kingsley—based on each individual’s submission of chivalric behaviour. If anyone would know what makes a knight, it would be him!” Entry deadline is the end of June, and while anyone can enter, the winner will “have to be able to travel to the secret knight training facility in the UK Midlands.”
The Knights of Albion series is based on the “rediscovered” second book by Thomas Malory, author of Le Morte d’Arthur. The first in the series, The Black Chalice, follows wannabe knight Alymere, who discovers the foul Devil’s Bible—said to have been written in one night by an insane hermit—which leads him to seek the unholy anti-Grail know as the Black Chalice.
Abaddon Books is an imprint of video game company Rebellion.
