There is the darkly bewitching Morgaine, half sister to Arthur and a high priestess in the enchanted land of Avalon, where women rule as the creators of life and keepers of knowledge. For Morgaine, there is but one quest: to wrest Britain away from Christianity -the new religion which views women as the carriers of original sin-and to return it to the worship of the Mother Goddess. The fair and lovely Queen Gwynhefar is torn between her duty to her king and the new God, and her passion for the dashing Lancelot. Both women struggle and suffer, and both-in their own extraordinary ways-triumph. With breathtaking detail and masterful storytelling, The Mists of Avalon is that rare, spellbinding novel in which muth comes to life and magic flows out to all of us.
