Return to Louisa Morgan’s enchanting Arthurian world in The Faerie Handmaid, where magic, power, and destiny collide in a spellbinding coming-of-age tale.

When Braithe was left an acolyte on the Isle of Apples, she never dreamed she’d become handmaid to Morgana, the most powerful priestess in all of Camelud, but she is content to live out her days in service to the Priestess. But when a powerful mage comes to Morgana and Braithe with concerns that the new king of Camelud is being cursed by powerful fae magic the two must journey to the White City deep in fae country to investigate.

The magical city is nothing like Braithe imagined and the fae are cold and callous toward humans and quick to bewitch. Despite the constant threat of danger, Braithe just may be the key to discovering who is cursing the king, but to do so she will have to step into her own power and rely on the magic lurking inside her. 

  • 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
