Morgaine & Viviane – The Mists of Avalon
Avalon will always be there for all men to find if they can seek the way thither, throughout all the ages past the ages. If they cannot find the way to Avalon, it is a sign, perhaps, that they are not ready.

Alternate cover image my brother did for my new book The Once and Future Queen.
It’s currently being campaigned to be published on KindleScout from Amazon.
This is my original post about it:
And you can nominate it here:

If you nominate it and it does get published, you get a free copy. The genre is LGBT Fantasy. Just trying to get more LGBT books out there, especially with a Latino protagonist.
My edit: The Children of Morgan Le Fay in Italian Arthurian Legends: Pulzella Gaia
Pulzella Gaia (Merry Maid) is a cantare cavalleresco (chivalry poem) written by an anonymous author of the XV century. In the beginning of the poem, Messer Galvano (Sir Gawain) betted Troiano/Tristano (Sir Tristain): the one who would bring the most beautiful prey, would win the challenge. Sir Gawain in a lake saw the biggest water-snake that he had ever seen. The knight started to fight with the snake, but it happened that he was in difficult, so pretended to be Sir Lancelot to cheat the beast. But the snake said to him that she had already fought against Sir Lancelot, and that Gawain looked “more wise and more learned” than Sir Lancelot. After the snake turned into a beautiful maiden, who told him that her name was Pulzella Gaia, and she was the daughter of Morgan Le Fay. They fell in love, but Pulzella Gaia said to him that their love had to remain a secret. When he returned to Camelot, Guinevere and the other knights started to be suspicious towards Gawain, who didn’t want to reveal who is his lover. Guinevere was so angry that wanted that Arthur executed his nephew for having lyed about his lover. In the same time, Morgan Le Fay imprisoned her daughter in the castle of Palaus. Gawain succeeded in rescuing her, and the two lovers could live happily together.
This isn’t the only poem in which Gaia appeared. She appeared also in another cantare cavalleresco, La Tavola Rotonda, in which Morgan wanted her to marry Sir Tristan, but she refused. She was kidnapped by a cruel knight called Burletta, but Sir Lancelot rescued her.
Pulzella Gaia!!

The Gay Arthurian Tradition
“Even as far back as Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur, there are homoerotic hints in cross-dressing scenes and a scene where two knights accidentally end up in bed together. Dorsey Armstrong’s Gender and the Chivalric Community in Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur has explored this topic and how the knights of Camelot themselves are aware of the possibility of homosexual rumors surrounding a group of men in an organization like the Round Table.”
Review of Pax Morgana
Worst book I’ve read this year. Two rape and blatant sexism and female character as prize with no backstory or even agency.

I don’t know if it counts, because it’s in French, but there’s also “Pour l’amour de la Reine” (“For the Love of the Queen”) by Tri Yann. (It’s Uther singing about why and how he’s declaring war on the duke of Tintagel because he wants his wife Ygerne.)
It definitely counts!! Thank you!
I also stumbled across a song that’s not on this list. It’s “Morgan Le Fay” by Hekate. (also thank you for this list! Need to check some of these out.)
Thank you!
