Her youth is highlighted by visits from Merlin, a half fey sorcerer.

Some of the concepts in this book are interesting but overall it is poorly written and hard to follow.Niviene has grown up on the island of Avalon the Lady is her mother and she doesn’t know her father. I bought it for the Kindle when I first got my Kindle (years ago) and just finally got around to reading it.

I have had this book to read for some time. "The writing is lyrical the plot twists are original. "An exquisite addition to Arthurian literature." "A rather unique look at the legend of King Arthur." "Take heed: the feminist possibilities of the Arthurian legendary cycle were not exhausted by Marion Zimmer Bradley's bestselling The Mists of Avalon … A riveting good read." "Readers will be enchanted…the characters and strands of the famous legend are skillfully woven together here." "Like The Mists of Avalon, the Arthurian legend from a woman's point of view." "The story glows…a mythical tapestry that is at once completely recognizable yet utterly fresh…" Niviene's special talents must help save a kingdom and discover the treachery of men and the beauty of love…

And while Merlin the mage has been training Niviene as his apprentice, he now needs her help to thwart the chaos devouring Camelot. But the strife of King Arthur's realm threatens even the peace of Avalon. Her people, the Fey, are folk of the wood and avoid the violence and greed of man. Ever since then I have lived heartless, or almost heartless, the way Humans think all Fey live.Īmong the towering trees of magical Avalon, where humans dare not tread, lives Niviene, daughter of the Lady of the Lake. When I was yet a very young woman I threw my heart away.
