Był taki czas, kiedy wędrowiec, jeśli miał ochotę i znał choćby kilka
tajemnic, mógł wypłynąć łodzią na Morze Lata i dotrzeć nie do Glastonbury
pełnego mnichów, lecz do Świętej Wyspy Avalon. W tamtych czasach wrota łączące
światy unosiły się we mgle i otwierały się wedle woli i myśli wędrowca...
Morgiana, obdarzona darem Wzroku i związana z losem Artura, brata-kochanka,
opowiada historię krótkiej świetności Kamelotu. Nie jest to opowieść o
rycerskich czynach, lecz widziana kobiecym okiem wizja społeczeństwa u progu
dziejowych zmian.
In a Britain struggling to survive Roman invasion, Eilan is the daughter of a Druidic warleader, gifted with visions and marked by 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 trust in the power of the great Goddess to lead her through the treacherous labyrinth of her destiny.
A new age is coming... The King will come...and he will rule forever in Avalon. Through the generations the women of Avalon prepare for the coming of the Defender, the sacred king who will guard the old ways of the Britons and save their land from destruction. On the holy isle of Avalon, hidden in the mists between the world of Faerie and the world of men, they wait. For High Priestess Caillean, facing the Roman foe, salvation comes not through victory, but bitter sacrifice. Two hundred years later, her successor, Dierna, faces a new enemy: the Saxon hordes who assail her people like savages. By the time of Viviane, Britain seems wholly lost. But a Merlin is made amongst the Druids once more, and the day of the Defender, who will come to be known as Arthur, draws close.
This is Eilan's story and follows her through the three stages of life: maiden, mother and old woman. Eilan is born in A.D. 249 to the Roman citizen King Coel and the High Priestess of Avalon, who dies while bearing her. She is sent to live with her Roman father, where she is known by the Roman version of her name, Helen. After a decade with King Coel, Eilan returns to Avalon to be initiated into the sisterhood of the goddess. As a maiden, Eilan again attaches herself to Rome when she falls in love with the charismatic Roman Constantius. The Roman noble takes her away from Avalon and, before long, Helen bears him a son, who later becomes Constantine the Great. Helen's status in Roman society allows her freedom to travel about in the Pax Romana. As Helen is confronted by the spread of the new Christian religion, she draws frequently from her own knowledge of the goddess to deal with her life and with the people that surround her. Priestess of Avalon was an unfinished manuscript, but Diana L. Paxson, an accomplished author in her own right, completed it for Bradley posthumously. Here then, is the fourth -- and last -- installment of the Avalon series. It is the only book in the series that travels beyond the boundaries of the British Isles, but it keeps to Bradley's tradition of a story told through the eyes of a strong female character.
