    Vi fu un'epoca in cui le porte tra i mondi fluttuavano con le nebbie e si aprivano al volere del viaggiatore. Di là dal regno del reale si schiudevano allora luoghi segreti e incantati, siti arcani che sfuggivano alle leggi di Natura e si sottraevano al dominio del Tempo, territori favolosi dove le più strane e ammalianti creature parlavano lingue oggi sconosciute, avevano gesti, modi e riti oggi indecifrabili; dove nessuna cosa era identica a se stessa, ma poteva mutarsi ogni istante in un'altra. Con l'andar del tempo, però, "reale" e "immaginario" entrarono in netto contrasto. Allora come oggi, furono le donne a fare da mediatrici. Morgana, Igraine, Viviana conoscevano il modo per far schiudere le nebbie e penetrare nel magico regno di Avalon...

    This is Eilan's story and follows her through the three stages of life: maiden, mother and old woman. Eilan is born in A.D. 249 to the Roman citizen King Coel and the High Priestess of Avalon, who dies while bearing her. She is sent to live with her Roman father, where she is known by the Roman version of her name, Helen. After a decade with King Coel, Eilan returns to Avalon to be initiated into the sisterhood of the goddess. As a maiden, Eilan again attaches herself to Rome when she falls in love with the charismatic Roman Constantius. The Roman noble takes her away from Avalon and, before long, Helen bears him a son, who later becomes Constantine the Great. Helen's status in Roman society allows her freedom to travel about in the Pax Romana. As Helen is confronted by the spread of the new Christian religion, she draws frequently from her own knowledge of the goddess to deal with her life and with the people that surround her. Priestess of Avalon was an unfinished manuscript, but Diana L. Paxson, an accomplished author in her own right, completed it for Bradley posthumously. Here then, is the fourth -- and last -- installment of the Avalon series. It is the only book in the series that travels beyond the boundaries of the British Isles, but it keeps to Bradley's tradition of a story told through the eyes of a strong female character.
