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 kingdom’s 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 Britain’s High Council—and just
when they’ve realized the depth of their love for each
other, a new danger calls Trystan from Isolde’s side to test
the strength of their secret marriage vow. Only Isolde knows
that she is carrying Trystan’s unborn child. As Britain’s
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
mission—one 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
Britain’s throne. Together, they hold the key that can
defeat the Saxon king, Octa of Kent, and Lord Marche. But
the cost of Britain’s sovereignty may be their own forbidden
love. Based on the earliest written version of the Arthurian
tales, Anna Elliott’s Sunrise of Avalon breathes new life
into an age-old legend and brings the story of Trystan and
Isolde to an unforgettable end.
