You can listen to them all for free, without ever having to put them on hold. The story is told in four large parts: Book One: Mistress of Magic. Morgaine, Igraine’s daughter by her first husband, the Duke of Cornwall, and to a certain extent, Viviane’s adopted daughter, becomes a priestess of Avalon. She has strong convictions and even a few regrets especially for her family and the strains put on them by their fates. Book List Review calls it an “exquisitely crafted recreation of the Arthurian legend.” This first book, Mistress of Magic, is available now on RBDigital, along with the next three books in the series. Great memorable quotes and script exchanges from the The Mists of Avalon movie on. Viviane is strong, not likeable, but admirable. The Mists of Avalon lends a fresh, feminine perspective to a much-told story, all while retaining the drama, romance, action, and magic one comes to expect from the High Fantasy genre. These three women’s wills and desires will go on to shape not only the fate of Arthur and Camelot, but also the fate of Avalon, a place of magic that exists outside of place and time.
Meanwhile, Arthur’s wife Gwenhwyfar is torn between her devotion to Arthur and to God, and the passionate love she feels for the handsome knight Lancelet. Her aunt, Viviane, mentors Morgaine with love and has great hope for her future, yet is torn between her love and her duty, which will require her to use Morgaine as a pawn to fulfill a prophecy. At the center of the story is Morgaine, a pagan priestess who has sworn to keep her religion alive, even if it means going against her beloved brother Arthur.
The Mists of Avalon: Mistress of Magic retells the classic tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, but from the perspective of the women of these tales. Fantasy fans looking for a fix after the recent ending of Game of Thrones will love Marion Zimmer Bradley’s intricate and beautiful take on Arthurian legend.
