The full sweep of the rich history of Avalon - from the fall of
Atlantis to the founding of a new temple on the mist-shrouded isle
of Britain - is finally revealed in this magnificent tale. The
priests and priestesses of Atlantis have known for many years that
the Sea Kingdoms were doomed. But now the final destruction has
arrived they find themselves less prepared than they had thought
for what lies ahead. Micail and Tiriki, prince and princess of the
last island to fall, as well as priest and priestess, are separated
during the final escape. Micail and his cousin, Prince Tjalan,
successfully arrive at their planned destination, a trading post in
the Hesperides (the British Isles) where Tjalan loses no time in
taking charge. He dreams of continuing the traditions of Atlantis
and founding a glorious new empire - whether the local tribes like
it or not. Micail and the other priests dedicate themselves to
fulfilling an ancient prophesy that they will build a great temple
in this new land - and set about finding a way to shift the huge
blocks of granite that will become Stonehenge. Micail's beloved
wife Tiriki also arrives in the Hesperides, but, blown off-course
by a storm, her ship lands on the wrong shore. She and the elderly
priest Chedan lead their small group in forming a new community in
harmony with the local population at the sacred Tor (Glastonbury).
Once the two groups become aware of each other, conflict will
become inevitable. A deeply moving and utterly convincing tale of
faith in the face of adversity, filled with memorable characters
and haunting landscapes.
'This is the story of a Legend' With her mother's dying breath, Eilan, the fifth child of the High Priestess of Avalon, takes life. The baby is taken to her father, King Coel, and raised in the Roman way as Helena, but in the year A.D. 259 the ten-year-old girl is returned to the mystical place of her birth. There she begins her training as a priestess, in the face of her Aunt Ganeda's determination that she shall fail. Despite Ganelda's hostility, fired by her resentment over the death of Helena's mother, the child grows to be a gifted priestess, and on the moonlit night of her initiation she has a vision of the Roman, Constantius, the man she will love for the rest of her life. Her vision also reveals that he will father the one whose light will blaze across the world, the one who will free Brittannia from Roman tyranny. But to be with him she must betray her sisters and turn her back on the security of Avalon, to build a new life in the danger-filled city of the enemy. Published posthumously, this spellbinding historical romance is the conclusion to the enchanting Avalon series.

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.
Take The Forest HouseQuiz
Leonie Hastur has a high degree of laran, the telepathic power of
the Comyn caste, and wants to be Keeper of Arilinn Tower, which
will give her as much power as her twin brother Lorill, Heir to
Hastur. But she has a premonition that something strange and
disturbing will come from the sky and change their world forever.
She is correct. Ysaye Barnett loves life on shipboard and would
happily stay right there, with her beloved computers, forever. Her
best friend Elizabeth Mackintosh, a musician and anthropologist,
and her fiance, linguist David Lorne, want to marry and have
children, which means they need a planet they can settle on and
make their lives' work. They are very excited about the new planet,
especially when they realize that it's a lost Terran colony. As
five young lives and their very different cultures meet, all of
them will be changed by the encounter.
...across half a Galaxy, the Terran Empire maintains its
sovereignty with the consent of the governed. It is a peaceful
reign, held by compact and not by conquest. Again and again, when
rebellion threatens the Terran Peace, the natives of the rebellious
world have turned against their own people and sided with the men
of Terra; not from fear, but from a sense of dedication. *****
There has never been open war. The battle for these worlds is
fought in the minds of a few men who stand between worlds; bound to
one world by interest, loyalties and allegiance; bound to the other
by love. ***** Such a world is Wolf. Such a man was Race Cargill of
the Terran Secret Service.
In the long-awaited return to Avalon by the beloved author of The
Mists of Avalon and her collaborator, bestselling author Diana L.
Paxson, Marion Zimmer Bradley fuses myth, magic and romance in a
spectacular unfolding of one woman's role in the making of history
and spirit...
