About this product

Product Information

Once again, Diana L. Paxson has beautifully elaborated on Marion Zimmer Bradley’s beloved Avalon saga with this dramatic new installment, which for the first time reveals the past of the ancestors of Avalon, from their beginnings on the doomed island of Atlantis to their escape to the mist-shrouded isle of Britain. It follows the extraordinary journey of two powerful women whose destinies will shape the fates of their physical and spiritual descendants: Tiriki, a high priestess exiled by the fall of Atlantis, torn between the claims of love and duty, and Damisa, a young acolyte of royal blood, tempted by ambition to forsake her spiritual path.Hints of this mysterious past have haunted all the novels of Avalon, but until now the full sweep of this rich history has not been revealed. Dramatic, peopled with the remarkable women who have always inhabited Avalon, and set in a world of enchantment that will sweep readers to a richly imagined time and place, Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Ancestors of Avalon is another spectacular epic that is sure to please Bradley’s many ardent readers.

Fabulous, super cute poodle plush. Even better in person than in photos. Seller promptly answered a question about one photo in the listing. Poodle shipped out very fast and arrived very fast. Arrived in perfect condition. Great value for the money.

Condition of the hardback book was labled as "very good". When I received the book and opened it up, the binding broke. When I asked for a refund, he said he could only refund me 4$. His reasoning sounded like a scam. The dollars have not yet been refunded.

MONEY REFUNDED. The system may reflect the refund to your account after a few days. The customer was told that the problem with the volume would be in the shipping and therefore the money was refunded.

  • Avalon Series

    I have collected and read every book from Marion Zimmer Bradley, thru the entite Avalon series since it all relates to the Old Ways and the coming of the new religion; christianity and how it impacted everyones lives. In actually, her first book, Mists of Avalon, should be read last, it is like each book was put out to take us further back..even before "Mists", her work "Firebrand" shows the path she was starting down, before that, is a hard to find book, originally sold as two books, Shadow of Light, Shadow of Darkness I think it was...now sold occasionally as one book and it relates to Atlantis and will have you spellbound. Just have to haunt ebay and watch for them. I do not care for modern fiction, so never got into the other books she wrote, the darkover series, etc, though I did get ...

  • Ancestors of Avalon is a MUST READ for all Arthur Fans

    All fans of King Arthur and his tails will love Ancestors of Avalon. With a finely written story line and vivid, realistic characters, this book is sure to please. I will not deny that this book has a slightly feminist point of view -as the rest of the Avalon series does- I believe that adds on to its allure, especially toward women. I recommend this book to all women -young and old. The best audience would probably be women between the ages of 15 and 40. It's mature, but well written and intricately detailed. Ancestors of Avalon is truly a masterpiece.

  • This book is a prequel to all things Avalon.

    I have ordered so very many books that I have yet to give this title the attention that it deserves. It is another brilliant tale by Diana Paxson & Marion Zimmer Bradley. This was actually a solo book by Diana as MZB has passed on to the Summerlands. From what I have skimmed it is truly in keeping with the wonderful storytelling of the other Avalon books and will be a delightfully entertaining while profoundly informative read. Never before have the tales of Avalon been told with such rawness and such strength in the characters. I have read all the others books and cannot wait to be able to curl up this fall with this newest chapter (prequel) in the saga of the women of Avalon!

  • Hardback in very good shape.

    Ms. Bradley has written beautiful detailed books of the Avalon and Arthurian legends. After her death, Diana Paxson has seamlessly continued the fascinating stories with not a miss in Ms. Bradley's legacy.

  • This book to me personally was not as good as the rest of the Avalon series books.

    I usually love Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon series. This one was ok but not my favorite of all the books she's written that I've read.
