About this ebook

Fans who love King Arthur's legend, Camelot, Merlin, and similar tales will love reading about Morgan le Fay.

Morgan is a willful, mischievous girl with mismatched eyes of emerald and violet. A girl of magic, whose childhood ends when King Uther Pendragon murders her father and steals away her mother. Then Pendragon dies and, in a warring country with no one to claim the throne, there are many who want Morgan dead. But Morgan has power, and magic. She is able to change the course of history, to become other, to determine her own fate-and, thus the fate of Britain. She will become Morgan le Fay.

"Springer wields language like a sword, and both blood and flowers spring to these pages in vivid hues." (Booklist, starred review)

Ratings and reviews

At age 7, I read half the book, and had it taken it away from me because of it's "ill nature". At age 10, I once again began the book, and this time was able to finish it.... This book literally changed my life... I'm 15, one month away from turning 16, and I am now re-reading this book for the FIFTH time :D I love the darkness of the book, the suspense, the mystery, and more than anything else... The history...

Amazing. Cried lots of times, read it recently at school and I really loved it, except I think the ending came too quickly

and i still dearly love it
