Morgan le Fay, Book 1

By: Sophie Keetch

Narrated by: Vanessa Kirby

Length: 11 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

The first volume in a stunning trilogy set in the world of Arthurian legend and told from the perspective of its traditional antagonist, Morgan Le Fay.

Even as a girl Morgan has always been wild, like the seas which batter the cliffs beneath her home, Tintagel Castle. But she has always been safe, too.

Then one day her father is called away to a war from which he does not return. In his place comes the High King, Uther Pendragon, with the sorcerer Merlin lurking in his wake. Uther claims Morgan’s mother, the Lady Igraine as his queen.

Now, in a world of knights and chivalry where she is all but voiceless, Morgan is faced with a choice: to follow her own fierce intelligence or to submit to the limitations powerful men would place upon her. She cannot, she will not choose submission.

So begins this richly told debut from Sophie Keetch, which traces Morgan’s journey to adulthood. She will fall in love with a man saved from the sea. She will defy kings and suffer the consequences. At times she will almost despair. But ultimately she will discover a power in herself that even Merlin is awed by–a power that will give her control of her own destiny and which see her join Arthur at Camelot.

And even this is only a beginning…

Critic reviews

"An enthralling new take on the Arthurian legend, beautifully written, superbly narrated." (The Times)

"Evocative, haunting and utterly addictive, this is a book to lose yourself in." (Tracy Borman, author of The King's Witch)

"Keetch’s Morgan does not disappoint … literally fire and a perfect harbinger of the woman Morgan is destined to become!" (Stacey Thomas, author of The Revels)

"This is the Arthurian legend as you rarely see it: told not by Uther, Arthur or Merlin, or indeed their male champions, but by the complicated woman they condemned. Keetch's Morgan is vulnerable, courageous and defiant. She makes the legend hers, and I can't wait to accompany her on the next part of the journey. For lovers of the untold story, Morgan Is My Name is a convincing and compelling read." (Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong)

Bravo!! I Need more!

loved it! fantastic! new look and feel to a very old tale. Thank you!!!! Cant wait for the next book

Well done

This is a great story of woman coming into her power in a man’s world. Well written, well performed.

The worst part is…

…that the sequel isn’t ready! Such a good book. So good at developing the characters, and she left so many loose ends that I’ll definitely be watching for the sequel. A fresh take on Camelot (this is really mostly pre-Camelot), with just enough magic while keeping its humanity. Great debut!

Way too good!

Oh my goodness. This is one of the best books I’ve ever listened to. I think I would have been a Morgan if I lived in her time. This book inspires me to feel good about my differences in a world of social media copycats and keyboard judges.

I’m so sad it’s over! I want more.

Can’t wait for next on what I hope will be a series!

Fantastic read! Interesting take on origin story of powerful player in the Arthurian legend . More please!

Interesting take on just Morgan

Enjoyed this perspective about Morgan. Not sure if there's a part 2 but I'll be looking. Great reader.

Morgan is my Name

I really loved this book! When I listen to books I want to relax and enjoy the story. I don’t think about plots etc. my mind needs a break and I want to enjoy listening to a story. I loved this book from beginning to end and I hope there is a second book

Always kept on the edge of my seat

I loved this take and vision for the story. I enjoyed the development of the main character and the spin she held

Good start

Looking forward to the next books in this trilogy! Narrator was easy to listen to and engaging

Finally

Truly magical spin on Arthurian Legend and gives Morgan her due credit. I am looking forward to the next one.
