The Forest House (Paperback)

The Forest House--prequel to The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley's beloved and enduring classic--is a mesmerizing epic of one woman's mythic role at a turning point in history.

In a Britain struggling to survive Roman invasion, Eilan is the daughter of a Druidic warleader, gifted with visions and marked by fate to become a priestess of the Forest House.

But fate also led Eilan to Gaius, a soldier of mixed blood, son of the Romans sent to subdue the native British. For Gaius, Eilan felt forbidden love, and her terrible secret will haunt her even as she is anointed as the new High Priestess. With mighty enemies poised to destroy the magic the Forest House shelters, Eilan must trust in the power of the great Goddess to lead her through the treacherous labyrinth of her destiny.

I really enjoyed this one. It has been well told and the people are well defined. The story is well woven and the threads are not so convoluted, that you lose track. There is a basic cast list at the front which makes it easier to keep track of who belongs where as the story takes place in essentially 2 different worlds - the world of the Romans and the world of the Britons.
