If you like fantasy, then this is for you. It's supposed to be a retell of the story Aurthor and the knights of the round table told from a villians's point of view, but I know virtualy nothing about Camelot. Although this story is terribly tragic and gory (Lots of angst and stuff; beware the extremly depressing beheading of the pony.), I loved it. It has an excellent plot, including a little romance, And the characters are so wonderfuly developed. Morgan is a girl/young woman who thinks she is just a little fiesty. She is a fay, and so she can do magic and live forever. As it turnes out she is "fated" to be evil one day. The story mainly boils down to her learning to accept it. She has a magic stones, and although she can create wonderful things with it, she can also destroy. When she learns that the boy she loves is fated to die, she tries to defey his misfortune, and he ends up becoming a prisoner of her love. He cannot leave her, because she traps him in a safe haven she has created with her powers.

Morgan le Fay: powerful sorceress, mystical fey, and “the one who will bring down King Arthur,” her younger half-brother. But in this novel, Morgan is a young woman beset by her ominous fate who struggles with understandable feelings of hate and resentment. A haunting, heartbreaking portrayal of one of the most principal antagonists of all time.
