Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword of Avalon
Marion Zimmer Bradley’s legendary saga of Avalon’s extraordinary
women continues with a tale of fiery visions, a lost king, and a
forthcoming destiny…

the years and is sure to please Bradley’s loyal readership and anyone
who loves wonderfully told stories of history, myth, and fantasy.
A boy raised in secret after traitors kill his parents will return to
