Le Fay - (The Morgan Le Fay) by Sophie Keetch (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"A very real, passionate retelling of Morgan le Fay's story, with detail about political and magical lives, and the women who are such a vital part of the tale." --Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Sophie Keetch's prose is as mesmerizing as the ocean's tides, illuminating Morgan's life with a deft and attentive hand." --Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows

From the author of Morgan Is My Name comes the second installment in the Morgan le Fay trilogy, a feminist retelling of the story of the formidable and misunderstood villainess of Arthurian legend, Morgan le Fay.

Having escaped an unhappy marriage, Morgan finds herself in Camelot--the city of dreams and peace. Her brother, King Arthur, treats her as a valued advisor and Morgan finally has recognition befitting her intelligence within his trusted circle, despite a longstanding conflict with Queen Guinevere.

But Morgan's life is not without complications. Between a vengeful husband determined to snatch their son away, the strict ideals of court life and a jealous rival for Arthur's attentions in the sorcerer Merlin, gaining true power and freedom is a greater challenge than Morgan envisioned. And when a face from her past arrives at Camelot, bringing old memories and new desires, the future that she has planned becomes fraught with danger.

Morgan must break the shackles of expectation to seek true happiness. But at the risk of destroying everything she's worked so hard to gain, what is she willing to sacrifice for control over her life?

Review Quotes

"Keetch's prose is rich and lyrical throughout, as is her commitment to always presenting Morgan as full-throatedly, unapologetically herself. After centuries of tales that treat her as little more than window dressing to the story of the men around her, it's a refreshing and necessary change." --Paste Magazine
