An enthralling book detailing the legend of King Arthur through the eyes of the women involved – Igraine, trapped in a loveless marriage to the Duke of Cornwall; Viviane, the magical Lady of the Lake; Morgaine, the aspiring priestess of Avalon; Morgause, the ambitious queen and Gwenhwyfar, the pious High Queen of Britain. The story of these women as they struggle through life and love is heart-wrenching, gritty and real, and Bradley captures their emotions and their lives with such perfection that the story comes to life before the reader’s very eyes.
