Title: The Mists of Avalon - Volume 2 The Ladies of the Lake - Marion Zimmer Bradley - book
Summary :
Thanks to the wisdom of King Arthur and his all-powerful sword, Excalibur, and the bravery of the Knights of the Round Table, peace finally reigns over the kingdom of Great Britain, albeit a precarious one. A merciless struggle continues to pit the faithful of the ancient Druidic cult of the Lady of the Lake against the ever-increasing number of followers of the new Christian religion, advocated by the Romans. Perhaps only the arrival of an heir to the crown could consolidate the throne and secure the future. But do Morgana, priestess of Avalon, Gwydion, her son, born of guilty love with King Arthur, and Lancelot of the Lake, faithful knight of Queen Guinevere's heart, still have a chance of accessing the secret lights of wisdom and love? Are they not rather on the verge of dragging into the abyss a king, a kingdom, an entire civilization slowly crushed by a new world order? Unless at the very last moment the dazzling and mysterious force of the Grail comes to their aid, bringing hope to all men of good will? The cycle of the Ladies of the Lake includes: 1. The Ladies of the Lake 2. The Mists of Avalon 3. The Secret of Avalon
