The former High Queen Isolde was only able to see part of the vision before it shattered and left her with more questions than answers. It was a battle to the death but whose? Her lover, her husband, the strong and handsome Trystan was the son of King Marche, but since he was perceived by many to be an outlaw, they could not be together. Yet, she yearned to have him by her side. If only they could be together, but it was not to be. He had a mission and no one could stop him.
Secretly married, Isolde was carrying Trystan's baby. No one must know, including Trystan, as it is too dangerous and she will have to keep it to herself and as long as possible. Yet, knowing eyes see but would they help or bring the enemy? Sent to a convent for safety, Isolde used her skills as a healer to help mend the badly wounded soldiers or to offer them a soothing touch, if beyond her help.
Exhausted by the work and the high numbers of men to be helped, Isolde did not mind the strain, but the wounds she saw were a constant reminder of the dangers Trystan was in. Could he avoid capture or death from the visions of battles she saw? But now, with men ruthlessly searching for her in the convent, in this safe place, was she to be captured and die before Trystan could return?
SUNRISE OF AVALON is Book 3 in Anna Elliott's Arthurian legendary Twilight of Avalon series and it concludes the story of Isolde and Trystan. With her meticulous research and rich and detailed writing style, Elliott spins a spelling binding story with a fast moving plot that brings your right into the deep forests and castles of medieval Britain as the British attempt to thwart the ever increasing Saxon invasion. While enthralling on its own, it is probably best read in sequence as they are a multiple of kings, alliances, and related characters. Be warned, once you settle into this special world, you may find it hard to escape as you want to keep reading just to find out what happens next!
She is a healer, a storyteller, and a warrior. When Britain
is faced with threats both old and new, the strength of her
love may be the kingdomβs downfall . . . or salvation. Their
love has overcome endless obstacles. Never ones to shy away
from danger, former High Queen Isolde and Trystan, a
mercenary with a lonely and troubled past, have already
endured a perilous journey to keep the underhanded Lord
Marche from the throne of Britain. But now a new traitor
lurks amongst the kings on Britainβs High Councilβand just
when theyβve realized the depth of their love for each
other, a new danger calls Trystan from Isoldeβs side to test
the strength of their secret marriage vow. Only Isolde knows
that she is carrying Trystanβs unborn child. As Britainβs
armies prepare for a final battle in which they will either
turn back the tide of the invaders or see their kingdom
utterly destroyed, Isolde must undertake yet another daring
missionβone that will bring her even nearer to a secret that
Trystan has kept for seven long years. As the clouds of war
gather, Trystan and Isolde must once again fight to protect
Britainβs throne. Together, they hold the key that can
defeat the Saxon king, Octa of Kent, and Lord Marche. But
the cost of Britainβs sovereignty may be their own forbidden
love. Based on the earliest written version of the Arthurian
tales, Anna Elliottβs Sunrise of Avalon breathes new life
into an age-old legend and brings the story of Trystan and
Isolde to an unforgettable end.
