Details

Lady of Avalon is an unprecedentedly beautiful, enchanting fantasy novel populated by priestesses, druids and gods, guided by their magical rituals and chants. The story spans three centuries to the beginning of our era, described from the perspective of women who shaped Europe's early history. Enter the intriguing world of Europe two thousand years ago, where Gawen, son of a priestess of Avalon and a Roman father, is taken under the care of High Priestess Caillean after the death of his parents. She takes him to Avalon where the youth will be initiated into the rites of the Druids. But the blood creeps where it cannot go and Gawen questions his destination. He returns to his father's land to find his roots, ends up in battle, and returns to Avalon disillusioned. There he finds a bride. Fate haunts him: a brutal attack by the Romans kills Gawen, but his wife Sianna carries his child, the future Lady of Avalon. Lady of Avalon is part of the special trilogy, which also consists of Mists of Avalon and The House in the Forest, followed by Priestess of Avalon.
