Was hoping to drag this book out until my next Audible credit but failed miserably- I couldn't stop listening! Great narrator and gripping story.

Story5 out of 5 stars 702
Having escaped an unhappy marriage, Morgan finds herself in Camelot–the city of dreams and peace. Her brother, King Arthur, treats her as a valued advisor and Morgan finally has recognition befitting her intelligence within Arthur’s trusted circle, despite a longstanding conflict with Queen Guinevere. But Morgan’s life is not without complications. Between a vengeful husband determined to snatch their son away, the strict ideals of court life, and a jealous rival for Arthur’s attentions in the sorcerer Merlin, gaining true recognition and freedom is a greater challenge than Morgan envisioned.

I’ve lost days to this audiobook series and I don’t regret a minute! Fantastic, I love this interpretation of Morgan’s story and the two narrators from the first and second installments are incredible. I can’t wait to hear some individuals get their comeuppance in the next book!

Badly written protagonist

Brilliant

I found this such a heartwarming story and I absolutely loved the narrator who brought each character to life. I found myself smiling at some of the characters who reminded me so much of myself and members of my own family and community. I enjoyed the culinary theme interwoven throughout and am looking forward to making some of the recipes features at the end of each chapter. The magical theme was not too overly done and for someone who loves a witchy book, I thought it was brilliant.
All in all, it is what it professes to be- witchy, foodie, family, love and heartbreak. My kind of story!
