About this listen

Tiriki is a Guardian of the Light, but she has grown up in the shadow of the curse of Atlantis. Graceful and gifted, she is the beloved wife and partner of Micail, a spiritual leader and prince. But when disaster divides them, she must find her own path in a new land, and the world she discovers could change her innermost desires forever. Will she find Micail? And if they are reunited, can they find love once again? Damisa has inherited royal blood and royal pride. In Atlantis she was only an acolyte, but in the new land she could become a queen. She is fierce and ambitious despite her tender years, but her heart remains torn. Will she choose the path of the priestess or the path of power?

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. Peopled with the remarkable women who have always inhabited Avalon and set in a world of wondrous enchantment, Marion Zimmer Bradley's Ancestors of Avalon is another spectacular epic that is sure to please Bradley's many ardent fans and anyone who loves spellbinding stories of romance and myth.

Magical

I loved this book so much, it's possibly my favorite in the Avalon series. The story is great, it flows well and is so interesting. It is in a time when magic was much more powerful and battles were not always fought with swords. I loved how it tied into the "future" of Avalon (even though you read them before) and really loved reading it along with the other Mists books, in the order they came out.
The audible version is done well but I recommend a copy of the book or character list on hand. I found I had to reference the book often for the first while to keep the names straight. I've never had to do this with these books before but there are a lot of names and places going on!
I look forward to reading or listening to this one again.
