The Kingpin of Camelot

by Cassandra Gannon

Book 3 in A Kinda Fairytale

Cassandra Gannon takes Arthurian legend, mixes in Midas and Oz, and creates something genuinely hilarious and surprisingly tender. Midas is a mob boss who turns things to gold but melts completely for Gwen and her daughter. The banter is razor-sharp, the world-building is wildly inventive, and the found family elements hit harder than you expect from a comedy.
