Lady of Avalon (Avalon, Book 3)

Journey to a time before King Arthur...to a world called Avalon-a fantastic isle of golden vales and silver mist, where destinies are changed and legends born.... A magnificent novel that spans the creation of Avalon itself, Lady of Avalon tells the story of three remarkable women who alter the fortunes of Roman Britain as they fight to reclaim the magic and traditions of a once glorious past: Caillean, the young priestess fated to become Lady of Avalon, who rescues and raises the orphaned Gawen-heir to a mystic and dangerous royal line...Dierna, who must use all her strength, wisdom, and love to guide Avalon through treacherous political waters and veil the island from a hostile world...Viviane, Lady of the Lake and keeper of the Grail, destined for true greatness as she prepares Avalon for the coming of a legendary king.... Bestselling author Marion Zimmer Bradley brings the mesmerizing world of myth and magic, romance and history, brilliantly to life in a spellbinding novel of epic grandeur worthy of fantasy's finest storyteller.
