The second book in the exciting Morgana Trilogy!

When Morgan was sent to her family home in Fond-du-Lac, Wisconsin, a small part of her had hoped that it meant she would finally get the family life she'd always dreamed of. Instead, she was propelled into another world under Lake Winnebago where kids like her are trained to become knights in a millennia-old fight against the Fey.

Now, after having been an unwilling key to liberating Carman, the worst she-demon of modern times, Morgan finds herself locked up in jail. All because of what her parents were. But Morgan's done with playing nice and following orders - not that she was ever that good at it - and it's high time she took her own destiny into her own hands. Before the knights execute her, and certainly before Carman destroys the whole world in her rage.

Interview with the Author


Q - Tell us a little about the Morgana Trilogy.

A - It's a retelling of Arthurian legends, but set in modern times and seen from the point of view of Morgan, Arthur's half-sister. Being an avid fan of the fantasy genre, I've also added bits and pieces of actual legends regarding the Fey (or Fae as it's often spelled), along with Celtic and Biblical references, as both religions heavily influenced the original myths as well.

The Morgana Trilogy also contains plenty of action and adventures - courtesy of the Knights of the Round Table, of course, and of those demons who won't let them rest - mystery, and a small dash of romance.

But at its base, the book is about a young girl coming of age, granted in a highly unusual environment, who learns that her choices may have grave consequences.

Q - What order should I read the books in?

A - The trilogy starts off with Blood of the Fey (2013), followed by Rise of the Fey (2015), then ends with Curse of the Fey (2017), and each following book starts where the previous one started.

There may be a couple short stories based on some of the other characters to come out in the future, but those will be readable on a standalone basis, so no worries there!

Q - What's the age category for this series?

A - It's a Young Adult & Teen fantasy series, but, really, I just consider that the starting age point, as many readers outside that age tranche have enjoyed the books as well.

Thank you for reading!
