Storm Over Camelot: Book Three in the Morgan le Fay trilogy

Morgan le Fay #3

by Sophie Keetch

“A very real, passionate retelling of Morgan le Fay’s story, with detail about political and magical lives, and the women who are such a vital part of the tale.”
Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Morgan Is My Name

From the bestselling author of Morgan Is My Name and Le Fay comes the stunning conclusion to the Morgan le Fay trilogy, a feminist retelling of the story of the formidable and misunderstood villainess of Arthurian legend, Morgan le Fay.

Grieving over a devastating loss, Morgan has retreated to the sanctuary of Belle Garde behind a veil of fairy magic, after swearing vengeance upon King Arthur and Camelot.

Steeped in her rage, she becomes a storm of retribution, battling to avenge her brother’s wrongs while trying to undo the tragedy of her lover’s death. But with her resurrection skills elusive and Camelot growing in glory and strength, Morgan is failing, and her treasonous reputation puts her freedom at risk.

All appears futile until her efforts bring news of scandal in the Royal Court, and Morgan is once again drawn inside Camelot’s golden walls. When an encounter with Arthur’s trusted knight, Sir Lancelot, sparks suspicions of Queen Guinevere’s adultery, Morgan falls deeper into obsession, the need to punish those who betrayed her driving her further away from her loved ones—and the woman she once wished to be.

As the Age of Camelot darkens, and the forces of love, fate and truth collide, Morgan must choose between her thirst for vengeance and the power to heal what is broken. She must decide who Morgan le Fay truly is, for the sake of her own future and for all time.

About the author

Sophie Keetch has a BA in English Literature from Cardiff University, which included the study of Arthurian legend. She is Welsh and lives with her husband and son in South Wales. For her debut novel, she was drawn to Morgan le Fay because of the progression of her character through time, becoming ever more villainous as she was written and rewritten in the words of men. But beneath the infamy, Sophie felt there was an unsung story and was compelled to seek out the woman behind the myth and give a voice to her contradictions.

“I am no man’s weapon to wield”

After devouring the first two books, I was so happy and honestly shocked to find out the audiobook was already released, so I dived right in. With the second book ending so promisingly, the first half of this one felt a bit slow, maybe this was because of the fact that latter part of the legend takes some unpleasant turns as well. But overall, this series was brilliant and one of my best reads of the year. The feminist retelling of this particular legend is so precious. Thank you Sophie Keetch.

Spoilers if you haven’t read the first 2 books in this trilogy and you don’t know the story of King Arthur and Camelot.

I was a bit disappointed with this one. Le Fay ended with Morgan swearing to resurrect her dead lover and take vengeance on Arthur and Camelot. I expected a bit more action, particularly as this book is twice as long as the first two. Instead Morgan spends 90% of the book in her magic valley receiving news of the outside world via letters and visitors. Her vengeance consists of causing a nuisance with storms and flocks of birds, and later attempting unsuccessfully to expose Guinevere and Lancelot’s adultery. She gets her hands on the magic resurrection shroud but doesn’t attempt to bring Accelon back for several years. Half way through the book I felt like not much had happened.

On the plus side it is beautifully written and Gemma Whelan off of Game of Thrones is an excellent narrator. The ending was really sad but most of it was expected because I know how the Arthurian legend ends and it stays true to that.

I was gutted she didn’t get Accelon back properly. If he was freed from the lake why not have him arrive at Avalon at the end? I choose to believe that’s what happened instead of him disappearing into the rain. And she eventually got both her sons back. That’s all.

Beautifully written, with complex characters. The final book is about twice as long as the first two books in this series and dragged at some points. But I will always eat up a feminist retelling.

3.5 rounded up. The series was decent but probably nothing I would recommend to anyone unless they really like Arthurian legends.

[Dani Cox · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has been one of my most anticipated books of 2026 and I was beyond thrilled to receive a proof copy courtesy of Oneworld Publications.

And boy this did not disappoint. I love Arthurian Legend, particularly Morgan le Fay, and devour every retelling, and this series is up there as one of the best.

I have loved every book in this series so far (Morgan Is My Name, Le Fay) and Storm Over Camelot is a worthy finale. It has everything I loved about the previous books and has just added in depth, character exploration, world-building, excitement, intrigue.

This was a thrilling read, heartbreaking and joyous in equal measure, full of Arthurian legend and lore but brimming with Sophie’s own unique interpretation. It was brilliant following the story you know, or think you know, and trying to piece together where Sophie was taking it.

This book, and this series, has solidified my passion for Morgan Le Fay, and it is a worthy retelling of her story, from her side. It opens readers up to the widely misunderstood figure she is in legend, making her human to us in all her flaws (just kidding she has no flaws i love her). She is such a complicated character, and Sophie has truly brought her to life in this series. Her joy is yours, her heartbreak is yours, every win and success, every setback, every YAS MORGAN moment is shared.

I loved it. 10/10 no notes.

Pre-order - you won’t want to miss this.

8/10 Overall, I think this series should be part of anyone's reading who is a fan of Arthurian literature. For me, a 5 star rating is reserved for books I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone and everyone. Thus, I can'trecommend it without reserve to those unfamiliar with the legends, as so much of what makes it compelling is its interplay with those legends. This wasn't as strong or satisfying of a finish as I would have hoped. Still well-written and well-narrated, the pacing seemed slow at times or I wanted different outcomes for the characters after being so invested. Keetch pulled in some more Arthurian characters, and tied them in in unexpected ways, which again is fun for those familiar with different versions of the legends, but a lot of the parts about Lancelot felt slow and lacking in cohesion. This volume does have more character growth than the last, and many satisfying resolutions, but when so much of the conflict in book 2 was based on miscommunication, I feel like the resolution has to really compensate for the frustration and on balance it didn't for me. Anyone familiar with tales of King Arthur know that his is not a "happy ending" and so in spite of many loose ends being tied up, the heavy ending feels a bit unearned or unwarranted, even though of course it couldn't end any other way.

[Alicia Brewer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nicki and I dropped everything to read this release that doesn't come out until April 2026!

What a fantastic conclusion! The ending was the very opposite of what I expected, but I think it was good.

Reading this series as someone who knew nothing at all about Arthurian lore, everything was new and exciting. I could see if someone was a hardcover expert, they may not enjoy this as much since it does take lots of creative liberties. However, I think the author did a good job balancing traditional lore with her creative work, and her writing is excellent. I listened to the audio and highly suggest that route since the narrator was superb.

Definitely not something I would have picked up on my own, but thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy! I recommend this to anyone who wants a well written tale that includes some swoony moments, emotional turmoil, and characters who never give up.

FYI - this is NOT a romance. This is very much a fantasy read.

Listened to the audible exclusive as I could not wait, but now im thinking maybe I could have waited to have my fucking heart ripped out 💔 loved this trilogy, will need 5-7 business years to recover.

Saying that there are characters and storylines I wish I'd heard more of, questions I still have, and the ending didn't satisfy me at all, though I guess it wasn't supposed to.

After the 2nd felt too romance-y for me, this returned to more focus on the tales of the mythology. There's still a good helping of yearning but it wasn't as overbearing. Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars, a 5 point system isn't enough.

… Hello trauma my old friend. I wish there was an emoji that conveyed “Sophie Keetch has ripped out my heart slowly over the course of two years and three books, stomped on it repeatedly, and then when she was finished given it a little shine and polish and put it in her display case of broken dreams” 🥲

[Lupick · Rating 3 out of 5]

I listened to the Audible versions of all three books in this trilogy. I loved the first two—absolutely loved them—and I really enjoyed this one as well. The narration was excellent and it kept me completely hooked.

That said, the ending left me frustrated. There were so many loose ends, and several important characters seemed to simply drift out of the story with no resolution. No consequences, no justice, no real closure. After investing so much in the journey, I was left missing the sense of vindication the main character felt so clearly due. Instead, everything just faded away.

[Shallow Boy Review · Rating 3 out of 5]

It pains me to still stand by my three-point rating for the final book of The Morgan Trilogy: Storm Over Camelot. The storytelling and prose are, once again, masterful. Keetch has an undeniable gift for bringing Morgan le Fay to life on the page — her depth, her volatility, her wild, aching emotions feel vivid and real throughout.

And yet.

Call me immature if you like, but I longed to see Morgan truly destroy Camelot — to see it crumble under the weight of her rage and power. That outcome would have felt more honest to the journey we were promised. Instead, we are given a Morgan who is largely lost, carried away by her emotions, swearing vengeance that never truly comes. Her arc ultimately bends toward growth, forgiveness, and something almost saint-like, which felt at odds with the ferocity built up across the previous books.

The introduction of a bizarre new antagonist in Sir Lancelot only added to my frustration. Keetch leans heavily on repetition: the knight is kidnapped twice, Morgan cycles through the same mistakes again and again, and even her favourite curse — “may the devil take you” — begins to feel emblematic of a story stuck in a loop. At times, the narrative felt circular rather than escalating.

What disappointed me most was how narrowly Morgan’s vengeance was framed. Her rage is reduced almost entirely to the loss of her lover, while some of the most agonising moments of the earlier books — the theft of her son by Merlin, the impossible moral bind Guinevere forced her into — feel strangely secondary. These betrayals shaped Morgan at her core, and yet their emotional and narrative weight is never fully reckoned with.

As Morgan’s power grows, I also struggled to understand her inaction. Why does she never attempt to break the supposedly unbreakable charm cast by the Lady of the Lake — especially when she later acquires a ring capable of nullifying magic and even breaks her own unbreakable protections around her home? That betrayal by the Lady of the Lake, repeated more than once, feels enormous in significance and yet remains largely unaddressed.

The resurrection of Accolon similarly felt unnecessary, even detrimental, cheapening the emotional impact of what came before. While it is admirable to see how lovingly Keetch treats her characters and the complexity she grants them, I found myself craving harder justice — something beyond conjured storms and the disruption of festivities. After so much betrayal, particularly from the lake fairy Morgan once trusted, restraint felt less like growth and more like avoidance.

It is thrilling to witness Morgan’s power expand, to hear her acknowledge that she could burn soldiers to ash if she wished. But she never truly wields her magic with that level of consequence. The promise of devastation remains just that — a promise never fulfilled.

Don’t get me wrong: I did love this book. I just longed for more. More action, more reckoning, more consequence — something beyond dwelling in rage only to dissolve it into forgiveness. After everything Morgan endured, I wanted a storm that truly broke the world.

[Michelle (Bamamele.reads) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thanks to Penguin Random House for the eARC. I also listened to the audiobook on Audible.

Let me start by saying I LOVED My Name is Morgan and Le Fay. I told everyone I knew how great those books were--feminist, full of feminine rage, and a wonderful new take on Morgan Le Fay. I loved what seemed to be a fresh new twist on Arthurian lore, and I was insanely excited for this last book. What follows below is probably a little spoilery, so read with caution.

Sadly, everything I loved about the first 2 books was missing here. I've sat on it a few days, I've ranted about it with a friend, and I think I'm finally ready to explain my thoughts. Morgan becomes very passive and ineffectual for most of the book. She observes from afar and sends some storms and birds to irritate, but that's really about it. She and Arthur cannot forgive one another, and yet they seem to forgive EVERYONE ELSE around them for doing far worse things. Not to mention, Arthur CHOOSES to lie to Morgan about what happened with Accolon, and if he had simply told her the truth, we wouldn't be here. I still don't understand why he did that.

Next, I HATED the entire storyline with Lancelot. Every single bit of it. There are hundreds of years of Arthurian lore that predate the addition of Lancelot, and god I wish we had gone that route instead. And again, tied into this, I again don't understand how Arthur continues to love both Lancelot and Guinevere, but not his sister. This book relies heavily on Le Mort D'Artur and it's all the weaker for it.

While the focus on the first 2 books was really Morgan and her agency and rage, we end the series focused on Arthur. I really really thought we'd do what both Isle in the Silver Sea and Legendborn did so well in showing that Arthur was actually kind of terrible (because he is here too). But we end this series all in on the glory of Arthur and Morgan becoming the way to restore Arthur. It just throws away all the progressive sentiments of the first 2 books. I feel so let down.

My favorite little bits of the book were Accolon, and even then I feel like he was done dirty. Look, I know that Arthurian legends don't end happily. But a talented author (and I do think Keetch is talented) could have taken this story in a fresh director and still had it feel authentic. Sadly, this last book sticks too closely to the mythology and left me disappointed in the worst way.

Thank you to Penguin Random House Canada (Adult) and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book early.

Storm Over Camelot is the final installment of The Morgan Le Fay series, following Morgan Le Fay as she grows more powerful in her quest for vengeance against her half brother King Arthur and all the hurt he has caused her.

I’ve been loving this series since I randomly picked up the first book at my at the time local bookshop and devoured it (and the sequel as a proof) in a day. The world is just as vibrant and immersive in this installment as it has been throughout the series and I found myself lost in it and unable to put it down from the very first pages. Morgan continues to have the same passion and desire to for freedom that she has had in the first two books and I loved following her story to its conclusion. The twists were wonderful and unexpected and I enjoyed delving deeper into the lies and betrayal that this Camelot was built on.

But I didn’t love Accolon’s appearances and what really happened to him. It made me dislike Arthur for spreading those lies right when we were supposed to be forgiving him. I also wish Morgan had done more than simply cause a little chaos in Camelot from her home and had fallen a little father into the darkness she was on the edge of for most of the book.

But I love this world, these characters, and this story. This was a great conclusion for an incredible series and I’m excited to reread the whole thing once this installment officially comes out.

Thank you again to Penguin Random House Canada (Adult) and NetGalley for the chance to read this early.

Storm Over Camelot is a richly imagined return to Arthurian Britain, and I was immediately swept up in its atmosphere. Sophie Keetch absolutely nails the setting — the windswept landscapes, the tension between old magic and rising kingdoms, and the political undercurrents all feel vivid and immersive. If you love being transported to a gritty, historically textured Camelot, this delivers.

One of my favorite aspects was the focus on strong female characters. Morgan, in particular, is given depth and agency, and I appreciated how the novel centers women within the Arthurian mythos rather than leaving them at the margins. The exploration of Arthurian lore and the blend of legend with a more grounded historical tone was compelling. It’s clear the author has a deep respect for the mythology and its roots.

That said, I did struggle at times with Morgan’s choices. While I understand they were meant to show her complexity and internal conflict, some decisions felt frustrating enough that they pulled me out of the story. I wanted to root for her more consistently, but instead I often found myself exasperated.

The pacing also felt somewhat repetitive in the middle. Certain emotional beats and conflicts seemed to circle back without enough development, which slowed the momentum for me. The story had strong themes and stakes, but I occasionally wished for tighter progression.

Overall, though, this is a thoughtful, female-driven take on Arthurian legend with a powerful sense of place. Even with its flaws, the immersive setting and reimagining of familiar lore made it a worthwhile read.

What an epic conclusion to a fantastic trilogy! Thank you so much to One World Publications for sending me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is the third and final book in the Morgan Le Fay series, which is essentially a feminist retelling of the famed villainess from the Arthurian legend. I don’t want to give spoilers for any of the books, but they all read from Morgan’s perspective and challenge the legend’s label of her being evil.

Throughout the trilogy, we travel through the wild Cornish coast, glorified and proud Camelot and witchy woodlands. There are themes of loss, friendship and family betrayal and of course, magic. We meet the cast of characters from the legend: Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin, Lancelot and the Lady of the Lake to name some.

The writing is absolutely beautiful throughout the whole trilogy; it paints evocative imagery and feels almost lyrical. Morgan is a difficult and morally grey character at times, but I was mostly on her side. She is powerful and fierce, and often angry - rightly so on many occasions, but I sometimes found her decisions frustrating. I also struggle with miscommunication tropes, which featured quite a bit.

The plot was slower paced than the previous books, but I was still gripped throughout as I really cared for the characters, particularly Morgan herself. As the longest book, it could have been shortened down though.

I will definitely be keeping an eye out for any future releases from Sophie Keetch.

4.25 ⭐️ (early access via Audible)

This book brought a beautiful ending to the story. It has been so wonderful viewing the Arthurian legend behind the POV of Morgan Le Fey. Such a complex character of battling views between love and revenge, loyalty and independence, politics and magic. Her evolution to the Morgan she became was so beautiful.

My only concern was that it was a bit too long. I felt it could have been edited more so that we didnt stay in one scene or thought for too long. I understand and appreciated the plot as sooooo much happened, but there were times where a scene felt too dragged. Or perhaps, I felt too much of her emotions that I didnt want to be sad anymore?

Irregardless, I would definitely recommend this trilogy. The story is beautiful and you feel the emotions with her.

I still want more though! I want to know what happens in Avalon, Lancelot, and her and Accolons child. Hopefully theres another complimentary book in the future!

I listened to this entire series on Audible and would recommend. The narrator did a wonderful job and conveyed the emotions and accents very well. I definitely want to purchase these books physically.
