The Book Of Joby
Published in 2007, The Book of Joby is a hybridized genre of Arthurian fantasy, taking place not in the time of King Arthur, but in present day [more or less] with Arthur [And friends] reincarnations.
The premise of the book is an age old bet between God and Lucifer for the fate of the world.
I read this book a while back [and by a while I mean like two or three years], it was fantastic, it follows Joby [The reincarnation of Arthur] from his childhood. While the boy struggles with good verses evil, love, and unknowingly having the fate of the entire world rest on his shoulders. To be sure, it is a fantastic debut book by former illustrator Mark Ferrari.
Here is a tiny excerpt from the book.
