Discover the dawn of the mythical legend of Avalon in the
long-awaited prequel to Marion Zimmer Bradley's The
Forest House
Diana L. Paxson expands Marion
Zimmer Bradley's beloved and bestselling Avalon series in a
dramatic new installment. Marion Zimmer Bradley's Ravens
of Avalon is the prequel to The Forest House and
tells the story of the Roman conquest of Britain and the
origin of the Forest House that preceded the return to
Avalon.
Marion Zimmer Bradley's Ravens of
Avalon follows the journey of Boudica, a Celtic
princess, and Lhiannon, a priestess who is Boudica's mentor
on the Druid isle. When the Romans conquer Britain, Lhiannon
fights them while Boudica is married to a king who has
surrendered. Theirs is a great love story, but when he dies,
the Romans brutalize her and her daughters. In rage, Boudica
raises the British tribes and nearly succeeds in driving the
Romans from Britain, claiming a place in history. Lhiannon
survives and becomes the guardian of the Druid traditions in
the new Roman Britannia as high priestess of the Forest
House.
Epic in its sweep and peopled by the
remarkable women who have always inhabited Avalon, Marion
Zimmer Bradley's Ravens of Avalon expands the legendary
saga that has enchanted millions of readers over the years
and is sure to please Bradley's loyal readership and anyone
who loves wonderfully told stories of history, myth, and
fantasy.
