The Faerie Handmaid

When the new king of Camelud is cursed, a magicless handmaid must embrace her own power and save the kingdom in this spellbinding coming-of-age tale from Louisa Morgan.

As an acolyte on the Isle of Apples, Braithe never dreamed she’d become a handmaid to Morgana, the most powerful priestess in all Camulod. When the two learn the king is cursed by powerful magic, they journey to the White City deep in fae country to investigate.

The magical city is nothing like Braithe imagined. The fae are cold and callous and quick to bewitch. Moreover, Morgana’s magic is unreliable, and it falls to Braithe to uncover who is behind the curse. But she will have to believe herself capable of more than she ever imagined.

• Praise for The Faerie Morgana
  
  "This is Arthurian retelling at its best: a world you can get lost in, a story you’ll want to return to, and a Morgan le Fay so real she seems as if she truly could’ve walked this earth.” ―Mary McMyne, author of A Rose by Any Other Name
  
  “A gripping story brimming with magic, The Faerie Morgana is a brilliant new addition to the canon of Arthurian tales." ―Megan Barnard, author of The Winter Goddess
  
  "Louisa Morgan weaves the myth and magic of Arthuriana into a sparkling new story full of intrigue, enchantment, and the strong threads of women's voices. The Faerie Morgana is mythic reimagining at its best!" ―Rowenna Miller, author of The Palace of Illusions
  
  "Morgan’s take is refreshing as she portrays a powerful Morgana with a sympathetic dimensionality missing from the original mythology... An enchanting tragedy centered around castle politics and the sacrifices demanded of women in the course of duty. Fans of Circe or Medusa retellings should take note." ―Library Journal
