Publisher Description

Book Four finds Morgaine moving closer to the fate that will set her intractably against Arthur--her lover, brother, and now, enemy. Returning to Camelot during the Feast of Pentecost, Morgaine accuses Arthur of compromising the crown, and demands that he return Excalibur to her. When he refuses, Morgaine arranges a confrontation between her lover, Accolon, and Arthur in the kingdom of Fairy, resulting in Accolon's death. Grieving and still without Excalibur, Morgaine makes a hasty retreat to Avalon. When she finally returns to Camelot, it is to retrieve Avalon's Holy Regalia, now being used in a Christian mass. Enraged at this betrayal, Morgaine calls upon the Lady's magic, which results in the mysterious "disappearance" of the holy chalice, prompting the companions of the Round Table to embark on a 12-month quest to find it. Events spiral out of control when Lancelet returns, resumes his adulterous relationship with Gwenhwyfar, and is finally exposed. The novel closes with the King Stag's death and Morgaine's long-anticipated return to Avalon.

"Oh, the sins of pride, and the pain they produce... A few memorable lines from my favorite books come to my mind: "... people do get hypnotized by the hard choices.". And "The will to be stupid is a very powerful force.". And the final answer to it all: "People before principles.""

" Truth said, I've read the four books one after another, nonstopping to swallow. I have no opinion of each in particular. "
— Suellen, 1/18/2010
Overall Performance:
" Loved it. One of my favorite books, and I consider myself to be a pretty big Arthurian legend nerd. I've read this AND listened to it on audio (with Davina Porter - if you are going to get it as an audio book, I recommend her highly). "
— Orenda, 12/14/2009
Overall Performance:
" I loved the whole series (although it's really only one book) and I loved Davina Porter's narration. Now I believe in Avalon, don't you? "
— Janet, 11/3/2009
Overall Performance:
" Finally finished the series. Good overall, although I feel like the story lost its way towards the end. And of course, Davina Porter is a dream to listen to. Definitely recommend! "
— Callie, 10/28/2009
Overall Performance:
" Finally finished the 4th book of the Mist of Avalon. Davina Porter is an awesome narrator. I see many people given these books many stars and think they are wonderful ... they are were really not my cup of tea. I do no regret listening to them but glad I am done. "
— Donna, 10/28/2009
Overall Performance:
" I first read this book in college and really liked it then. (Truth be known it was one of the only books I read all the way through for class!) But reading it a second time, I can't help but feel somewhat disappointed. It's like there is no momentum and I'm wading through mud. "
— Alissa, 10/16/2009
Overall Performance:
" The final book of the Mists of Avalon Series. A complete end, but of course not the happiest of ending. Good though overall. "

She wrote everything from science fiction to Gothics but is probably best known for her Darkover novels and her Arthurian novel, The Mists of Avalon. In addition to her novels, she edited magazines, both amateur and professional.
