Her life will be turned upside down when not one, but two strangers pop into her life. Quick life decisions and going on the run was what saves her and helps her find her rightful place in the faery world that she now is a Queen in. Will true love conquer all or will she need to be her own hero...
This is a modern adaptation of the classic tale "Le Mort d Arthur" also known as"King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" told from the point of view of one of the classic villains, Morgana or Morgan Le Fay.
In this version, Morgana is the hero, fighting against the forces of Queen Mab, the Evil Faerie Queen of Summer and Light. She has been trapped in a cycle of reincarnation where she has been assassinated before she rises to power as the Queen of Winter and Shadow.
It is now 2025. Morgana has been reborn as a biracial woman named Faye Archer. She is living in Oakland (San Francisco East Bay) with her mother Elaine (the Lady of the Lake) and is still recovering from the tragic death of her father. She is a 23 year old college student with striking red hair and violet colored eyes. She and her best friend, Embyr (A no nonsense city girl with a sharp tongue and wit) attend a fancy bonfire party in the Kensington Hills, an exclusive neighborhood above Berkeley. She has a one night stand with a billionaire playboy, the 19 year old Arthur Drake, who happens to be the reincarnation of King Arthur. Shortly after waking up next to him, she discovers that he is her new stepbrother.
She slowly starts to develop powers and runs into Devona, or Merlin, who is a beautiful woman that she is oddly attracted to. Devona, Arthur and Faye and Embyr go on several adventures together where they battle deadly monsters (the mysterious horsemen) take on the Queen of Summer, and fight for Avalon and Earth at a terrible cost.
In the Kingdom of Deovaria, the peaceful Faery have been killed and enslaved by their neighboring Kingdom of Humans. The remaining few forced to choose between life or death, agree to live under the humans rule. Freedom comes with a price though. Faeries are to immediately stop all use of magic, and all faerie women are to be taken into the castle walls to bear one child that will be half human, and half faery. Giving the King a glimpse into what he always wanted, and invincible army. To try and protect their kind, a curse is placed on the Kingdom to stop all faery from having female children.
Eighteen years later, Aspen, is the last female to turn of age. When she is taken by force, she turns her magic onto the humans, killing a guard in the process and committing treason against her new King. Little does she know she will soon come face to face with a furious Prince, and a longer journey than she had ever imagined.
I’ve been a fan of 'Once Upon a Time' for years, and the book series that ties into the show is absolutely magical. The 'Once Upon a Time: Shadow of the Queen' series is a standout, diving deeper into the backstory of Regina and Snow White. It’s packed with the same drama and fairy-tale twists that made the show so addictive. Another favorite is 'Once Upon a Time: Out of the Past,' which explores untold stories from characters like Rumplestiltskin and Belle. The writing captures the essence of the show, blending dark fantasy with heartfelt moments. If you love the TV series, these books are a must-read—they expand the world and give you more of what you already adore.
they're like a treasure chest of genres. Fantasy is a big one—think magical realms, dragons, and epic quests, similar to classics like 'The Hobbit' but with a fresh twist. They also dabble in romance, often weaving love stories into their fantasy settings, giving you those heart-fluttering moments amid the adventure. Mystery pops up too, with plots that keep you guessing until the last page. And don’t forget historical fiction—some books transport you to vividly reimagined past eras. I’ve even found sci-fi hybrids, blending futuristic tech with fairy-tale charm. It’s this mix that keeps me coming back.
I binge-watched 'Once Upon a Time' with my niece last summer, and wow—what a rollercoaster! At first glance, the fairy-tale themes seem perfect for kids, but some arcs get surprisingly dark. Like, Regina’s backstory? Heavy stuff for a 10-year-old. The show dances between Disney-flavored hope and grim themes like betrayal and murder.
That said, my niece adored the costumes and magic, though I fast-forwarded through a few tense scenes. It depends on the kid’s sensitivity. Maybe preview episodes first? My sister and I still debate whether Rumplestiltskin’s manipulative schemes are ‘cool villainy’ or too intense for elementary schoolers.
