Praise for this book
"Evocative, haunting and utterly addictive, this is a book to lose yourself in." - Tracy Borman
"Sophie Keetch takes us to a familiar destination-Camelot-on a brand-new road. Morgan Is My Name has magic, mythology, Merlin, and a Morgan le Fay we've never met before. Here, we meet a heroine who staunchly refuses to diminish herself while negotiating the world of powerful and cruel men. With twists and turns around every bend, you will love the journey of this book as much as its destination." - Sharon Emmerichs
