THE CHILD FATED TO SHAPE DESTINIES …
Morgan is a little girl who lives in Tintagel Castle by the sea, loved and sheltered by her noble parents, the Duke and Duchess of Belerion. An extraordinarily clever child, extremely sharp-eyed, exceptionally curious. A little girl unlike other children.
One stormy night a ship is wrecked off the coast, bringing with it new friends – Fleur the princess from a far-off land, Safir the stowaway with a secret, and the mysterious twins Merlin and Ganieda. Morgan’s visions of another world awaken her to the realisation that she can see things others cannot. That she has powers other people do not possess.
Not long afterwards, Morgan encounters Diana, the Moon Huntress, who charges her with a dangerous mission that only she can accomplish. With Merlin by her side and unsure if he is friend or foe, Morgan must venture far from home to enter the realms of the Piskies and the Muryans, warring tribes of faeries who vie for the souls of lost children. There she must summon her magic to fight the most ancient powers in the world, to rescue a young soul destined to be reborn …

Jo-Anne Blanco was born in Brazil to an English mother and Spanish father. She
graduated from the University of Edinburgh with an MA in languages and from the
University of Glasgow with an MPhil in media and culture. As a teacher, she has
spent much of her life travelling around the world. Her travels, together with
her lifelong passions for reading, writing and storytelling, inspired her to
embark upon her epic Fata Morgana series, about the life and adventures of
Morgan le Fay. Mythology, fairy tales, and Arthurian legends are all major
influences on her work, and her ongoing journeys to countries of great
landscapes and folklore are never-ending sources of inspiration.
