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. "Bradley combines romance, rich historical detail, magical dazzlements, grand adventure and feminist sentiments into the kind of novel her fans have been yearning for" PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Three fan-favorite authors present "a classic fantasy quest
involving mysterious wizards, rites of passage, and the salvation
of a kingdom" (Library Journal). Peace has long reigned in Ruwenda
thanks to the magical protection of the Archimage Binah. The
realm's devoted guardian is aging, however, and her magic is
weakening. When the kingdom's triplet princesses were still
infants, Binah gave each of them the mystical power of the Black
Trillium. But the unthinkable occurs too soon, and Ruwenda is
overrun by the ravaging armies of neighboring Labornok before the
sisters, Haramis, Kadiya, and Anigel, have time to learn how to use
their great gift. Forced to flee, the young princesses must follow
their separate destinies through a dangerous and unfamiliar world
of Oddlings and enemies--for only the combined power of three
magical talismans can help them defeat the malevolent sorcerer who
has brought chaos and death to their once-idyllic home. But it will
take new kinds of strength and wisdom to confront the great evil
that has descended on the World of the Three Moons. Marion Zimmer
Bradley, Julian May, and Andre Norton, three of the most honored
names in fantasy fiction, have joined forces to create an
extraordinary world and culture in the first book of the remarkable
Saga of the Trillium, a breathtaking tale of duty, peril, love, and
magic.

In a Britain struggling to survive Roman invasion, Eilan is the

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

Blending archaeological fact and legend, the myths of the gods and the feats of heroes, Marion Zimmer Bradley breathes new life into the classic tale of the Trojan War-reinventing larger-than-life figures as living people engaged in a desperate struggle that dooms both the victors and the vanquished, their fate seen through the eyes of Kassandra-priestess, princess, and passionate woman with the spirit of a warrior.
The city-state of Merina has no means to stop an invading army, so
Dowager Queen Adele, Queen Lydana, and Princess Shelyra disappear
from the palace. Hiding in places no one would suspect, they lead a
counter-attack against the Emperor and his forces.
'In my time I have been called many things: sister, lover, priestess, wise-woman, queen' Morgaine, gifted with the Sight and fated with her brother-lover's doom, recounts the glorious tragedy of Camelot's brief flowering - not as a tale of knightly deeds, but as a woman's rounded view of society in the crucible of change. Through the lives of pious Guinevere, ambitious Morgause, Priestess of Avalon Viviane and her successor as Lady of the Lake, Morgaine herself, this rich and haunting epic reveals a greater threat to the Old People than the Saxons. For the spread of patriarchal Roman ways and a narrow Christianity seem likely to drive the ancient worship of the Mother forever into the mists ... Penguin also publish the other novels in the bestselling Avalon series: The Forests of Avalon and Lady of Avalon.
