Author Description

In the tradition of Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon (Penguin, 1998), The Circle Cast re-imagines the Arthurian legend from the perspective of his arch rival, the witch Morgan le Fay - this time for a young adult audience. Morgan le Fay, seducer of King Arthur, sorceress, destroyer of Britain, was a girl once. When Uther Pendragon uses Merlin's magic to seduce her mother and murder her father, Morgan flees to Ireland to avoid being killed herself. As Morgan comes of age, she discovers her own magical powers.
