In one of the darkest times of Britain's post-Arthurian history, seven priestess sisters left Avalon on a sacred mission to do their part to bring peace and safety to the Goddess worshiping people of their country. Each sister has their own royal target to engage and in their own special way, walk the path The Goddess has laid before them to protect Her people. In this volume, weapons and battle aficionado Aster goes to Hadrian's Wall to intercept King Urien and his sons who are waging war against the brutal Saxon warlord Aethelfrith. Aethelfrith has cut a bloody and burning swath through Britain and even Saxons are shamed by his vicious, brutal attacks. After months of battle, Aster is sent on a very special mission and that is where her real story begins. In an epic story of love, loss, victory, and compromise, Aster embarks on a high adventure to fulfill the task laid upon her. In the process, she meets a vibrant cast of characters who challenge her beliefs about the people she was taught were her enemies. Return to Avalon...you will be glad you did. Praise for The Daughters of Avalon from Amazon readers: Rasbold has a gem here. The book is simple in structure, yet complicated in feel. She makes you fall in love with the characters very quickly, and you can almost feel their pain, smell the flowers, and feel the wind on your face. She draws you in, leaving you wanting for more at the end of the book. I didn't just READ this book, I DEVOURED it! Being of Welsh ancestry, and now a long ago Croned Priestess and quite familar with much of what is involved in the walking of this path, I can easily recommend adding this delightful book to your reading list. You will not be disappointed. If you are a fan of Avalon, Arthur, Excaliber, Merlin..then this is the book for you. A mix of fairy tale, romance, a court intrigue! Ms. Rasbold you made me a happy reader, please keep 'em coming. One of the best books I have read in a long time I highly recommend this book as I was swept away from beginning to end. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!! Katrina Rasbold is a masterful storyteller and I felt like I was in Avalon. If you loved The Mists of Avalon, buy this one. I'm excited to read the next one to see what happens next. Seven Sisters of Avalon Book 1 - The Daughters of Avalon Book 2 - Rose of Avalon Book 3 - Aster of Avalon Book 4 - Coming in late 2016

HEADS WILL ROLL! Lily of Avalon is the long-awaited fifth book in the popular Seven Sisters of Avalon series. Like the first four books, Lily takes her readers on a fantastic journey through the "Britain Beyond" of the late sixth century when those who worship the Goddess face harsh conversion tactics from the Christian Church which has now risen to dominance. The Daughters of Avalon begins the series with the story of Bran and Lillian, while Rose of Avalon, Aster of Avalon, Iris of Avalon, and now Lily of Avalon tell the stories of their daughters who go into the seven kingdoms of Britain to return magic to the land and liaison with the country's leaders to protect the people of the Goddess. Lily of Avalon marks an unexpected turn in the eight book series and like the classic fairy tale on which it is based, just when you think you've figured out the story, you fall through the looking glass and find that everything you thought you knew is now backwards. In this volume, Lily, a troubled seer who knows just how different she is from her sisters, takes a mysterious journey to Powys to act as a Holy Fool for King Cynan, a savagely ambitious and tyrannical ruler. Imprisoned in a court of madness, she encounters a world she could not imagine and a cast of bizarre characters beyond her wildest visions as she fights to keep her wits and her head both in their proper places. Praise for Lily of Avalon: What do fans of the Seven Sisters of Avalon series have to say about the newest release in the eight-book series? "I found this book fun to read and fast paced. I did not want to put it down. The beginning was familiar on the shores of Avalon then following Lily's adventure to a terrifying end and mystery as to where or when is she now. There is just so much I love about this author's work. I love how the storytelling weaves fact and fiction and how it's fun and then downright scary. Skipping along reading and laughing and then racing in terror through dinner. I don't want this to be the end. No matter where or when this story goes, I want to be there." ...Dotti Moore "Lily of Avalon is the sixth book in the Seven Sisters of Avalon series and Katrina Rasbold does not disappoint! The intensity in the story line as we follow Lily and her fascinating cast of characters is interwoven with deeper meaning and thought-provoking details. Regular readers will have the surprise eureka moment we have all come to love with this series. Love love loved it, Katrina!!!! Just WOW!" ...Sondra Rae Hudson "The reader is deftly brought into this sister's quest as the author masterfully brings history and fantasy together into possibility. One is brought into the thoughts, emotions, fears and insecurities of this untested Priestess of Avalon embarking on her individual journey. Ms. Rasbold brings the reader along through a maze of acceptance among the madness of Lily's unrestrained gifts. In the process, one questions our own perceptions, what is real and what is illusion, quickly choosing to follow that rabbit as he races for his hole." ...Edye Cheeseman

Iris of Avalon is the highly anticipated fourth book in the popular Seven Sisters of Avalon series. Like the first three books, Iris takes her readers on a fantastic journey through the "Britain Beyond" of the late sixth century when those who worship the Goddess face harsh conversion tactics from the Christian Church which has now risen to dominance. Lillian, the Lady of the Lake, and Bran, the Merlin Reborn, send their seven magical daughters into the seven kingdoms of Britain in a final effort to preserve the ancient forms of worship and protect those who revere the Goddess from the oppression inflicted by the rising power of the new Christian religion. Once in the "Britain Beyond," the princess priestesses face battles that will challenge their faith, redefine who they are, and propel them toward their own manifest destinies. In doing so, they also reshape the future of Britain, as well as Avalon. The Daughters of Avalon begins the series with the story of Bran and Lillian, while Rose of Avalon, Aster of Avalon, and Iris of Avalon tell the stories of their daughters who go into the seven kingdoms of Britain to return magic to the land and liaison with the country's leaders to protect the people of the Goddess. Each year, a new Seven Sisters of Avalon book releases for a total of eight books in the series. In this volume, Iris, a healer and midwife, journeys to Tintagel in Cornwall where her many greats grandmothers, Ygraine and Morgan, both reigned. She pledges to wed King Marcus, which means she also must tame his wild child daughter, the princess next in line to sit on the Cornish throne. King Marcus, a staunch Christian, awakens passions in Iris she never knew existed and through a traumatic turn of events, places her on a path that winds through tales both new and familiar to the reader. Although Iris of Avalon stands on its own as a beautiful, fast-paced story, reading first four Sisters of Avalon books for background may enhance the reader's enjoyment of the series. Editor's Note: This book contains some sexual situations and descriptions and may not be suitable for younger readers.

The magical saga of the women behind King Arthur's throne. “A monumental reimagining of the Arthurian legends . . . reading it is a deeply moving and at times uncanny experience. . . . An impressive achievement.”—The New York Times Book Review In Marion Zimmer Bradley's masterpiece, we see the tumult and adventures of Camelot's court through the eyes of the women who bolstered the king's rise and schemed for his fall. From their childhoods through the ultimate fulfillment of their destinies, we follow these women and the diverse cast of characters that surrounds them as the great Arthurian epic unfolds stunningly before us. As Morgaine and Gwenhwyfar struggle for control over the fate of Arthur's kingdom, as the Knights of the Round Table take on their infamous quest, as Merlin and Viviane wield their magics for the future of Old Britain, the Isle of Avalon slips further into the impenetrable mists of memory, until the fissure between old and new worlds' and old and new religions' claims its most famous victim.
