OOOOO this was GOOD. I thought the plot was quite original for being a knights of the round table and fae inspired book! I ate up all the twists, ESPECIALLY the very last one. And the last chapter was so cryptic, I loved it!!! The atmosphere was immaculate, the writing style was great, and the characters were *chefs kiss* Can’t wait to read book 2!!

This whole series was my fav read this year PLEASE add to tbr if you’re a romantasy lover. I already plan on rereading
A free stuff your Kindle find that met the Q requirement of my alphabet challenge. I liked it enough that I will probably read book 2 at some point!
A fantasy with a central character called Morgan. Who doesn’t seem to have much of a life ahead of her. Though her brother is the king and it should be a regal life. Things don’t work out that way.
She sets out & joins up with a bunch of id say misfits, they don’t quite fit unless together.
The fae runs through this story and though I found it slow in parts, I enjoyed getting lost in the magic and other parts of the story.
Looking forward to book 2.

A twisted new retelling of King Arthur with magic, betrayal, lust and power at its center. Each page was a surprise and made the love for Morgan I have grow. A powerful girl who has never believed in that power starting to fight for the sake of her heart and what’s important. I enjoyed this and can’t wait to read book two
A fun Arthurian retelling where Arthur is evil and our main character is Morgan Le Fay - I've seen this series around the booksta world and thought I would give it a try.
Morgan is a half-fae princess who once was the heir to the throne, but because of her mother's fae heritage, now her brother Arthur sits on the throne and Morgan is destined for the kingdom's version of a nunnery. A new guard, Kairos Draven, joins the court and there is an immediate connection between him and Morgan, although at first, it's very much an antagonistic kind of vibe.
Did I find Morgan naive? Yes, I did, but it makes sense given how sheltered she is, and how brutal Arthur is to anyone who defies him. She is terrified to tell anyone about the things that happen to her, and she also has her little brother to worry about.
This is a very slow burn romance, and I am looking forward to seeing how the relationship between Morgan and Draven progresses through the series.

Wow! I am a little speechless, eyes still wide in wonder at that ending. So many questions, so much anticipation. This story will leave you gasping for air, drowning in the myriads of unanswered questions. That may sound like a bad thing, but I assure you it is a pure adrenaline boost of anticipation. I cannot wait for the next story as the need to know more is a physical ache. The characters in this story are so well told that you will feel every moment of longing and every betrayal as deeply as Morgan herself. This is a world where nothing is as it seems. A story told with the hint of familiar legends and lore, and yet blended into a new story that is unlike anything you’ve ever known. Every twist sneaks up on you, leaving you unable to resist the lure of the next page. A phenomenal debut into fantasy and I am so glad there is more to come because one book is simply not enough to contain what is proving to be a remarkable story. Full of suspense, self-reflection, and delicious “who did this to you?” style possession, strength and tenderness combined to perfection. I simply must know what happens next!
Thank you to NetGalley for this book! All I can say is wowwwww!! I loved this book! For fans of SJM, Rebecca Yarros, and Jennifer L. Armentrout!
It’s the King Arthur fae retelling we didn’t know we needed!
• ”Who did this to you?”
• Forced proximity
• Betrayal
• Hidden lineage
• slowwwww burn
• a little spice

I cannot wait for the next one!

Whatever you think you know about the story of King Arthur and Camelot, prepare yourself for having everything turned upside down and put in a blender and combined in literally the very best way possible. From the first pages of the book, you find out that this version of the story is from Arthur’s sister Morgan’s perspective, and that Arthur is a villain. Morgan is the eldest child of Uther Pendragon, and is purported to be partially Fae, through her mother’s side. This makes her a mixed-blood offspring and not ideal for succeeding her father. Additionally, she is forced to regularly consume a potion to suppress any Fae characteristics that might manifest. Her best friend in the court is Lancelet, a female knight, and Merlin, also a woman, is the high priestess at the temple. While there is quite a bit of world building and backstory involved at the outset, it is interwoven very seamlessly and does not detract from the current timeline of the book. Arthur sends Morgan on a quest with escorts that include his newly appointed captain of the guard, Draven, who is a newcomer to the kingdom but has a reputation that precedes him. There are many revelations during this quest, the world building is steady without being heavy handed, and well-interspersed in the action, and the twists and turns in this story just come at you one after another. Within the storylines, you learn more about Morgan’s past, and meet new characters, and find out more and more about the mysterious stranger, the captain of the guard, that is accompanying her. She has been sheltered at court her whole life, and thought her future was certain. She didn’t like it, but had resigned herself to it. And during her quest, she has to process a lot of information about her history, her court, and herself. Morgan gains courage and confidence, and the skills she has learned both from sparring with the knights, and studying with Merlin, develop and blossom as the story unfolds. There is not much at ALL that is predictable in this book, even though I have some familiarity with the legend. I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next, and I was so glad I could read the next book in the series right away. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dark fantasy, fairy tale retellings, morally grey characters, found family, forced proximity, slow burn romance, strong female characters. This series will be a part of my personal library in both physical and digital copies, and I’m already tempted to re-read it and take notes. It’s so jam-packed, compelling, and intensely emotional. (Warning: Familiarize yourself with the possible triggers for this book before you read!!!)
