‘The start of what will be a classic trilogy.’ The Times

My name is Morgan… And there aren’t enough words for all that I am.

When King Uther Pendragon murders her father and tricks her mother into marriage, Morgan refuses to be crushed. Trapped amid the machinations of men in a world of isolated castles and gossiping courts, she discovers secret powers. Vengeful and brilliant, it’s not long before Morgan becomes a worthy adversary to Merlin, influential sorcerer to the king. But fighting for her freedom, she risks losing everything – her reputation, her loved ones and her life.

‘Beautifully written…with fabulous, nuanced characters!’ Elodie Harper, bestselling author of The Wolf Den trilogy

‘Evocative, haunting and utterly addictive, this is a book to lose yourself in.’ Tracy Borman, author of The King’s Witch
