Aster of Avalon - Katrina Rasbold - Bog

In one of the darkest times of Britain's post-Arthurian history, seven priestess sisters left Avalon on a sacred mission to do their part to bring peace and safety to the Goddess worshiping people of their country. Each sister has their own royal target to engage and in their own special way, walk the path The Goddess has 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: 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 AvalonBook 1 - The Daughters of Avalon Book 2 - Rose of Avalon Book 3 - Aster of Avalon Book 4 - Coming in late 2016
