Black Morgan: Woman, Witch, Goddess

Morgan the Fay #2

by Shani Struthers

***** A spellbinding retelling of Arthurian fantasy! Truly epic.
***** Suspense, drama, magic, and the old ways - breathtaking.
***** Morgan the Fay is my new hero!
***** The Arthurian legend has been told many times, but this has to be my favourite.

A sweeping tale of Dark Age Britain - where power devours, prophecy deceives, and betrayal can topple kingdoms. This is Arthur reborn and Morgan unleashed.

Perfect for fans of Game of Thrones, The Winter King, The Mists of Avalon, The Lord of the Rings, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

~~~

Is betrayal the end...or just the beginning?

In the wake of Arthur's marriage to Guinevere - his betrayal - Morgan leaves Caer Arthur, bound for the mist-shrouded isle of Avalon. There, she hopes to meet the mother she has never known: Viviane, the High Priestess. Having barely survived the crossing, she fears not only for her life, but for the life of the child within - Mordred.

Avalon is said to be a sanctuary, an ancient bastion of the Goddess in a land fast falling to the One True God. Yet peace eludes her as a hunger for power stirs. Among its priestesses are enemies old and new - Seren, her rival since childhood, and Nimue, Viviane's protege when Morgan should have been.

As war between Briton and Saxon rages, Morgan must choose exile once more, fleeing to a corner of the kingdom that will never bow to the High King.

And there, she learns to wield power unlike any Avalon could offer...

A power that could shape Arthur's new world.
Or carve her name into the bones of the old.

Reviews

[Maggie]

I loved the first book in this series and I was eagerly awaiting the next installment- could the series continue to cast a spell? Yes definitely! One of my favourite books of all time is The Mists of Avalon (I try not to think about the private life of the author!) I never expected anyone else to totally capture that atmosphere, but still make Morgan's story their own but Shani Struthers definitely does!

Morgan is a flawed character but a formidable one. Although at times I may have questioned her actions I never failed to believe in her intentions. The book is also full of wonderful descriptions of the setting and an assortment of characters.

I wish I didn't have to wait so long for the next one, but I'm sure I will again be drawn into Morgan's world.

Morgan Of The Fay

This was an exhilarating story! Morgan’s journey after Arthur and Avalon! Then leaving Avalon discouraged ! She found herself through Urien and his Son. But learning the magic of life and death she was summoned to cure Arthur from deaths door! And the story continues with his son dying and there son together starting the next story! Thank you!

[Ashley Hobson]

great sequel

Such a brilliant sequel to the first book. I do enjoy this take on the King Arthur legends. Morgan is definitely a strong female character who despite having her life influenced by others, takes the reins. Can’t wait for book 3 coming out in March this year.

Different Point of View

The book is the Arthurian legend from Morgan’s point of view. I especially enjoyed the tale of their childhood. The concept of Arthur and Morgan in love isn’t traditional as well.

[Kathryn Kitterman]
