Summary
The first volume in a stunning trilogy set in the world of Arthurian legend and told from the perspective of its traditional antagonist, Morgan Le Fay.
Even as a girl Morgan has always been wild, like the seas which batter the cliffs beneath her home, Tintagel Castle. But she has always been safe, too.
Then one day her father is called away to a war from which he does not return. In his place comes the High King, Uther Pendragon, with the sorcerer Merlin lurking in his wake. Uther claims Morgan’s mother, the Lady Igraine as his queen.
Now, in a world of knights and chivalry where she is all but voiceless, Morgan is faced with a choice: to follow her own fierce intelligence or to submit to the limitations powerful men would place upon her. She cannot, she will not choose submission.
So begins this richly told debut from Sophie Keetch, which traces Morgan’s journey to adulthood. She will fall in love with a man saved from the sea. She will defy kings and suffer the consequences. At times she will almost despair. But ultimately she will discover a power in herself that even Merlin is awed by–a power that will give her control of her own destiny and which see her join Arthur at Camelot.
And even this is only a beginning…
Critic reviews
"An enthralling new take on the Arthurian legend, beautifully written, superbly narrated." (The Times)
"Evocative, haunting and utterly addictive, this is a book to lose yourself in." (Tracy Borman, author of The King's Witch)
"Keetch’s Morgan does not disappoint … literally fire and a perfect harbinger of the woman Morgan is destined to become!" (Stacey Thomas, author of The Revels)
"This is the Arthurian legend as you rarely see it: told not by Uther, Arthur or Merlin, or indeed their male champions, but by the complicated woman they condemned. Keetch's Morgan is vulnerable, courageous and defiant. She makes the legend hers, and I can't wait to accompany her on the next part of the journey. For lovers of the untold story, Morgan Is My Name is a convincing and compelling read." (Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong)

Can hardly wait for the next book!
The King Arthur legend is, of course, well known & has been written about many times. I have read many of those accounts, but have rarely run across ones from Morgan's viewpoint, and certainly not one that feels as realistic and powerful as this book. The writing is excellent, the story so compelling & interesting, a fresh perspective. And Vanessa Kirby did an excellent job of bringing the story to life - her pacing was spot on, and her voices, both men & women, were easy to differentiate & keep track of.

A pleasant surprise
Hard to know what to say to explain why I enjoyed this book so much, It has a good storyline that generally moves along but there are just a couple of places where it feels a bit dragged out. It's quite a gentle listen, not a roller coaster ride of plot and excitement, but no less interesting for that. And the characters of Morgan and those around her are a clever mix of folk story, legend and human that really works well.
A rather sudden end leaves me assuming there will be a sequel. And if there is I will be buying it.

Very good story
I really enjoyed this book, read very well indeed by Vanessa Kirby.
It is a great retelling of the story of Uther Pendragon, Arthur and of course Morgan the sorceress.
It’s the first in a trilogy so I look forward to the next books.

Really enjoy this audiobook!
Kept my attention all the way through and was sorry when it ended, I had connected to the characters and wanted to travel on with them, no details, so as not to spoiler it for future listeners.
Narration was perfect also, just the right amount of everything.

Brilliant from start to finish
Mate this audiobook was sick! I’m a late 20’s, rap music lover who does not fit the script for this type of book but I cannot find a fault in this, storyline, character development, plot and narrative is fantastic the narrator is exceptional and makes an already brilliant book even better 10/10

Beautiful story...
I really enjoyed everything about this audible. The narration was beautiful and was something I could dip in and out of when I fancied.
I will definitely be buying more from this author.
