Steeped in her rage, she becomes a storm of retribution, battling to avenge her brother's wrongs whilst trying to undo a terrible tragedy.

Having escaped an unhappy marriage, Morgan finds herself in Camelot–the city of dreams and peace.

The Arthurian Romances by Chrétien de Troyes form the wellspring of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Stories of knightly valour in the Welsh Marches had existed before the 12th century, but it was the magnificent poetry and imagination of Chrétien, the 12th century French poet and trouvère, which brought alive the great characters of Arthur, his wife Guinevere, Lancelot and others.

Despite her family's witchy history, Morgan's life in modern-day London has always been depressingly normal.

And when her magic fails to protect her loved ones, Morgan is certain she's not meant to be a witch.

Anna had never been particularly interested in her mother's past. She certainly hadn't ever given much in the way of credence to her stories about the last Prince of Wales. But when Anna crashes through time into a snowy afternoon in medieval Wales, she suddenly finds herself embarking on a journey that transforms not only her own life, but an entire world ...

Fionna's only hope to save her family lies across the Irish Sea. As a warrior princess of Ulster, the rival clan holding her father and sister for ransom knows she'll pay any price to get them back. But even she couldn't predict the task set before her - to steal a faerie sword from a king. The Kingdom of Caerleon is dying under Morgan le Fay's dark magic. Her vengeful curse has locked Excalibur in its scabbard, placing Arthur Pendragon's kingship in jeopardy. Now Arthur and his sword brothers have one hope. The fifth knight. The one foretold by Merlin who will break the curse.
