Morgana Le Fay is a powerful enchantress, hardworking, and beautiful. She is the eldest child of Uther, King of Avalon. Her only failing? Being born a woman. Her brother Arthur is the one to be named her father’s heir.
And Morgana? After a swift arranged marriage ends in widowhood, she is fading away as the knights of the Round Table, under Arthur’s command, pillage and destroy the magic that could bring Avalon greatness.
Her only hope is that the reclusive and enemy of Arthur’s reign, will take her as an apprentice. Morgana knows she has wild magic that needs to be shaped, and the handsome warlock is only one who will work with her.
But Merlin won’t say yes unless she can offer him something in return. How far is Morgana willing to go to in order to achieve all she knows she’s capable of?
