Fairy, healer, astronomer, sorceress, Queen of Avalon. And  a witch.

The Arthurian legend as it has never been told before.

The story of Morgana, narrated by herself: magic, forbidden love and betrayal in a Britain where female power came at a price.

Narrated in the first person, the novel delves into the silences and contradictions of the classic texts to give voice to one of the most fascinating characters in the Arthurian legend. What happened to cause the woman destined to protect a king to end up turning against him?

With the characters that have been stimulating our imagination for centuries, this novel combines epic adventures, forbidden love, jealousy, family conflicts, battles, love triangles, betrayal, palace intrigues, Celtic mythology and magic.

A daring reimagining that in no way alters the original story, revealing the heroic and intimate side of Morgana. An ode to the struggle to survive in a world where women who know too much eventually become feared of or scorned.

Morgana combines the epic of the Arthurian legend, the historical romance of the Outlander saga, and the historical fantasy of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.

 

Every legend needs a villain. This is the story of the woman who paid that price.

The Arthurian legend begins where Morgana’s silence ends.

If Arthur rests in Avalon, it is because Morgana continues to watch over his sleep.
