But now, hundreds of years later, I’ve been returned to life. I’m the one chosen to help stop the apocalypse. I only wish the woman I’m bound to wasn’t the very one I’d tried to forget. My Gwen had a secret she never shared in our past life. She’s a witch, cursed to live forever....

L'ascesa e la caduta di Camelot raccontata dalle donne che, insieme a Morgaine, hanno visto il mondo che conoscevano cambiare radicalmente. Fuggita da Avalon dopo aver scoperto le orribili macchinazioni della Dama del Lago, Morgaine è più che mai decisa a non essere una docile marionetta nelle mani di Viviane. Non immagina che il figlio che ha partorito e affidato a sua sorella Morgause diventerà un giorno lo strumento della distruzione del padre.

Potente maga dotata della Vista, Morgaine ha sempre avuto la capacità di scrutare nella mente delle persone e di conoscere i loro pensieri. Ora, in là con gli anni e in pace con il mondo e con se stessa, ha deciso di ripercorrere la propria vita e di narrare l'epica storia dell'ascesa e della caduta di Camelot. E ha scelto di farlo non attraverso le gesta eroiche dei cavalieri della Tavola Rotonda, ma attingendo a ciò che il suo potere le ha permesso di conoscere, per dare finalmente voce alle donne.

Il suo nome è Eilan, figlia di una famiglia druidica e dotata della Vista. Il suo fato, da sempre, è quello di diventare sacerdotessa della Dea, custode della Casa della Foresta e dell'Isola Sacra, il futuro regno di Avalon. Ma Eilan, durante le celebrazioni di Beltane, ha scelto una strada diversa. La strada della ribellione e dell'amore. Si è infatti innamorata di Gaio, un soldato di sangue misto che è arrivato in Britannia con le truppe romane per soggiogare l'antica terra dei Druidi.
