Morgan Is My Name
This is a stunning retelling of the story of Morgan le Fay from a talented debut author. Morgan’s story has been told many times, but this interpretation restores her humanity. Instead of painting a magical villain as many have done before her, Keetch presents Morgan from childhood as a frightened girl who sees her mother manipulated and forced into marriage by Uther Pendragon. Uther is the man who killed her father and took his crown. Morgan grows up caged and restricted until she finds love, first with a palace guard and then at the convent where she discovers her magic and finds companionship with Alys. However, Uther continues to control her life, sending her north to marry and create an alliance with King Urien of Gore. While Morgan is determined to make the best of her situation and continue to study magic and the healing arts, she discovers that the man who has made her a Queen will never see her as an equal and she will need to forge her own path. This is the first in a trilogy and will be a must-read for fans of Natalie Haynes, Lucy Holland and Madeline Miller.
