Synopsis
"This is the intricately woven and realistically enchanting Arthurian tale you've been waiting for." - KIERSTEN WHITE, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Camelot Rising Trilogy.
A powerful feminist retelling of the early life of Morgan le Fay, the famed villainess of Arthurian legend, this dazzling debut is the story of a woman both mortal and magical, formidable and misunderstood, told in her own words.
Young Morgan of Cornwall lives a happy life in Tintagel Castle until King Uther Pendragon, with the help of the sorcerer Merlin, murders her father and tricks her mother into marriage. Furious, brilliant, and vengeful, Morgan defies her brutal stepfather, taking up a secret education, discovering lifelong affinity with the healing arts, and falling in love with a man beneath her station. However, defiance comes at cost. Used as a bargaining chip in her stepfather's war games, Morgan finds herself banished to a world of isolated and gossiping courts, amidst the machinations of kings, sorcerers, and men.
But some desires are not easily forgotten, and the search for her independence is a quest Morgan cannot give up. As the era of King Arthur approaches, she must use all her wit, knowledge, and courage to fight against those who wish to deny her intelligence, crush her spirit, and control her body. But, in seeking her freedom, Morgan risks losing everything - her reputation, her loved ones, and her life.

Cette lecture était magique ! Une ode à la femme, à la connaissance, à la liberté ! L'écriture était poignante et belle, je me suis sentie transportée dans les décors et dans les odeurs décrits. Une épopée passionnante et addictive, tellement que j'ai déjà envie de retourner la lire !! J'ai tellement hâte de lire la suite qui s'annonce encore plus forte en émotions !
