Okay besties, in this video I’m officially putting a name to the vibe I’ve been seeing everywhere lately: medieval knightcore. Think chainmail and candlelight, oath-bound devotion, dusty castles, quests, and that very specific brand of yearning where someone is absolutely going to “my lady” you and then die about it (respectfully). I break down what knightcore even is, why it feels like the next big romantasy trend, and the kinds of stories that scratch that neo-medieval itch—especially if you just finished something like The Knight and the Moth or The Second Death of Locke and immediately needed more. Then I get into the fun part: 10+ book recommendations that lean into knights, chivalry, court politics, crusade-y journeys, and fantasy worlds that feel old and mythic in the coziest (or darkest) way. I’m talking books that deliver atmosphere first—lantern-lit halls, armor clanking in the background, vows and betrayal and devotion—plus romances that hit if you like your tension slow-burn and your stakes unreasonably personal. If you’re building a knightcore TBR, this is me handing you a starter pack and enabling you with love.
