Each sister has their own royal target to engage and in their own special way, walk the path The Goddess 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: Miss 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 AvalonBook 2 - Rose of AvalonBook 3 - Aster of AvalonBook 4 - Coming in late 2016 less

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 the first four Sisters of Avalon books for background may enhance the reader's enjoyment of the series. Publisher's Note: This book contains some sexual descriptions and situations that may not be suitable for younger readers. less
