She is a healer, a storyteller, a warrior, and a queen without a
throne. In the shadow of King Arthur's Britain, one woman knows the
truth that could save a kingdom from the hands of a tyrant...
Ancient grudges, old wounds, and the quest for power rule in the
newly widowed Queen Isolde's court. Hardly a generation after the
downfall of Camelot, Isolde grieves for her slain husband, King
Constantine, a man she secretly knows to have been murdered by the
scheming Lord Marche -- the man who has just assumed his title as
High King. Though her skills as a healer are renowned throughout
the kingdom, in the wake of Con's death, accusations of witchcraft
and sorcery threaten her freedom and her ability to bring Marche to
justice. Burdened by their suspicion and her own grief, Isolde must
conquer the court's distrust and superstition to protect her throne
and the future of Britain.
One of her few allies is Trystan, a prisoner with a lonely and
troubled past. Neither Saxon nor Briton, he is unmoved by the
political scheming, rumors, and accusations swirling around the
fair queen. Together they escape, and as their companionship turns
from friendship to love, they must find a way to prove what they
know to be true -- that Marche's deceptions threaten not only their
lives but the sovereignty of the British kingdom.
In "Twilight of Avalon," Anna Elliott returns to the roots of the
legend of Trystan and Isolde to shape a very different story -- one
based in the earliest written versions of the Arthurian tales -- a
captivating epic brimming with historic authenticity, sweeping
romance, and the powerful magic of legend.
