Synopsis

A new age is coming...The King will come...and he will rule forever in Avalon.

Through the generations the women of Avalon prepare for the coming of the Defender, the sacred king who will guard the old ways of the Britons and save their land from destruction. On the holy isle of Avalon, hidden in the mists between the world of Faerie and the world of men, they wait.

For High Priestess Caillean, facing the Roman foe, salvation comes not through victory, but bitter sacrifice. Two hundred years later her successor, Dierna, faces a new enemy: the Saxon hordes who assail her people like savages. By the time of Viviane, Britain seems wholly lost. But a Merlin is made amongst the Druids once more, and the day of the Defender, who will come to be known as Arthur, draws close.

A spellbinding historical fantasy, Lady of Avalon links the bestselling novels in the Avalon series—The Forests of Avalon and The Mists of Avalon.

Review from the PFS Book Club What I Liked: This book, unlike the more popular The Mists of Avalon, is swift and uncomplicated. The characters are still interesting - it was especially nice to see Viviane's backstory, since she was one of the characters that made Mists so great, and the plot zings al......more

Goodreads review by Saturn on April 01, 2021

Con questo volume della saga di Avalon continua il viaggio nella Britannia antica, alle prese coi romani e le invasioni sassoni. La narrazione è divisa in tre periodi storici, coprendo circa 350 anni, e ruota intorno ad Avalon e alla figura della sua Somma Sacerdotessa - capo spirituale del culto dr......more

Romanzo che si distingue per la sua affascinante ambientazione e per la profonda caratterizzazione dei personaggi.

Goodreads review by Ronda on January 13, 2010

More great stories by MZB. I enjoyed reading the three parts in this book. However, I have to say that this book along with Priestess of Avalon should of been one book but in chronological order so the reader can enjoy and understand the story instead of going back and forth between the books. Part......more
