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)

Impossible to put down
This book is easy to listen and follow the story till the last. I love Morgan’s will to live her own life and her determination to learn and develop her power of healing to help others. Great story, it was impossible for me to put this book down till the last page. Vanessa Kirby narrated the story by using different voices, what a talented! I can’t wait for the next book, I hope there will be!! I will highly recommend this book!!

The tail of Sorcerer Mogan
(Title with nod to the Holy Grail)
I adore all things Arthurian, chivalry and swords, magicians and knights, beans on toast. Some things just go together.
But this is Morgan's own story. Arthur appears briefly, but just to recognise how bad and corrupt their father, Uthur Pendragon, was. This story tells of Morgan's discoveries, her first love and the hatred of Uthur who was responsibly for her fathers death..
Parts were a bit Mills & Boon, but the intrigue and seeds of heraldry were well researched and well written.
There was even a bit of ye olde women's lib. It took something like a thousand years plus to get where we are now, and we still haven't cracked it.
Not sure whether it follows what is believed to be the accepted story, but if it doesn't, how'd know.
All in all, a good listen.

Fantastic narration that brings the story to life
I’ve found that no matter how interesting the text, the narration can really make or break the enjoyment of audiobooks. The narration here is excellent, brings to life the fantastic plot line and characters. I love this retelling, a vivid, fresh perspective to well loved tales and figures.
