Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die
by Greer Stothers
Published Feb 3, 2026
About this book
Sir Cameron is a knight who prefers vanity over valor and survival over glory. His comfortable life of cowardice shatters when the Church issues a prophecy declaring that his death is the only path to defeating the mad sorcerer Merulo. Facing an inevitable execution, Cameron makes the only logical choice: he defects to the enemy.
He throws himself at the mercy of Merulo, the very man destined to be his killer, hoping to trade his life for a seat at the sorcerer’s table. Merulo is reclusive, volatile, and deeply unimpressed by his new, high-maintenance guest. What begins as a reluctant partnership—frequently involving unwanted transmogrification—slowly shifts into something far more complicated.
As the two men navigate a landscape of vengeful knights and cosmic threats, their dynamic evolves from mutual annoyance into an unexpected, magnetic attraction. Cameron discovers a surprising affinity for the sorcerer’s dark ambition, while Merulo finds himself entangled with a knight who refuses to be discarded. With a god-killing plot in motion and their fates inextricably linked, they must decide if their survival is worth the cost of the madness they have cultivated together.
It is a sharp, chaotic, and deeply romantic journey where the lines between hero and villain blur.

What readers are saying
YoyoVery Fun and Hilarious
"It's a really fun story. I love the characters and I love the dynamic of the relationship. If you like more non-traditional romance dynamics I would recommend this. Both Cameron and Merulo are mildly pathetic in the best ways. Also very funny, genuinely loved the humor. ["

Amazon CustomerHonest, sweet, fun, and wacky. So good I bought it twice!
"I loved this book so much I purchased it twice; a physical copy and an audiobook copy! Greer Stothers has created a one-of-a-kind tale that manages to be uniquely interesting, refrshingly unusual, and surprisingly earnest all at once. There is an inherent honesty and realness to the characters that makes them feel flawed in the best of ways. Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die is almost reminiscent of Sir Apropros of Nothing, but more like if Sir Apropros of Nothing was actually good. The humorously honest writing style, the well-chosen points of view, and the wacky but loveable characters all come together to walk you through a truly engaging and surprising plot. This is type of book that will make you laugh out loud at times as you follow the creative twists and turns of the narrative. My only qualm with this book is that I was honestly a bit surprised at the lack of explicit smut, as it felt like the type of story where a lot of interesting characterization could have been revealed through the characters' more intimate interactions, especially considering the dynamic introduced between the two main characters, but honestly the book is so good that I found myself not minding the cut scenes too much. Overall, this was such a fun read, and I found myself caring for the characters much more than I would have expected. Honestly, this book has become an instant favorite for me. Can't recommend it enough! ["

AlexFun but not necessarily funny
"I did enjoy this book, though I wouldn’t say it’s as funny as the marketing makes it out to be. It’s less of a ha-ha funny book, and more of a silly or whimsical book. It was still very enjoyable, but I just think the writing was trying a bit too hard to be funny. ["
