An atmospheric,feminist retelling of the early life of famed villainess Morgan le Fay,set against the colourful chivalric backdrop of Arthurian legend.
When King Uther Pendragon murders her father and tricks her mother into marriage,Morgan refuses to be crushed. Trapped amid the machinations of men in a world of isolated castles and gossiping courts,she discovers secret powers.
Vengeful and brilliant,it's not long before Morgan becomes a worthy adversary to Merlin,influential sorcerer to the king. But fighting for her freedom,she risks losing everything - her reputation,her loved ones and her life.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'Top marks all round for an enthralling new take on the Arthurian legend,beautifully written... The start of what will be a classic trilogy.'- The Times
'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
