In  this series the daughters of Avalon is also about five Pendragon sisters Elspeth, Rhiannon, Rosalynde, Seren and Arwyn. All  who have been living in exile most of their lives. They are all King Henry’s illegitimate daughters. Due to their jealous, powerful, spiteful  and extremely hateful mother Morwen. In addition they all have inherited some form of witchcraft. Yet they know they must keep this secret or it could end badly for all of them. As this is the time where people still fear witches, supernatural female beings, by burning at the stake or worse. Plus the fact their own mother had their own grandmother burned at the stake.

This is the story of the daughters of Avalon. The heroine of this story, is the youngest sister, Rosalynde Pendragon. She is also the twin sister of Seren. She is the illegitimate daughter of King Henry and his evil dark witch mistress Morwen. She is now on a mission that could cost her-her life.

herself as a nun and escaping a forced marriage and to bring the grimoire with her. To hide it from her mother forever! All the sisters are enchantresses or some may call good witches. Not a dark evil twisted witch like their mother. Now brave Rosalynde with a warrior’s heart, must get this book away from dangerous power hungry Morwen.

Morwen had hidden all five of her beautiful daughters in the priory. She only visited them when she needed to use them for something. They are all just pawns for Morwen to use and abuse. Will Morwen murder her own daughter for stealing her book of spells?

Will Giles marry Serena when he loves another. Can Wilhelm control his temper or will he destroy everything for the sake of revenge? Can Rosalyne save her sisters and England and live without her one true love?

I have been reading Tanya Anne Crosby for over twenty-five years and I am always exhilarated and jumping for joy! As she did it again creating another enchanting story that I got swept away in! A book her fans have been patiently waiting for! Especially after The King’s Favorite, the debut of “The Daughters of Avalon” series. This book is another captivating, page turning, action packed, riveting, magical, romantic adventure from start to finish. As Tanya Anne Crosby pens another winner that readers will absolutely 
love!I can’t wait for next installment in the “Daughters of Avalon” series titled “Fire Song”!
