Chapter One
Morgaine speaks:
In my time I have been called many things: sister, lover, priestess, wise woman, queen. Now in truth I have come to be wise woman, and a time may come when these things may need to be known. But in sober truth, I think it is the Christians who will tell the last tale. Forever the world of Fairy drifts further from the world in which the Christ holds away. I have no quarrel with the Christ, only with his priests, who call the Great Goddess a demon and deny that she ever held power in this world. At best, they say that her power was of Satan.

4 out of 5 stars 2 03/30/2008
Reviewer: Becka from Troy, NY US
This novel expresses the tumult, adventure, and tragedy of the downfall of an entire sacred society, Avalon, in the face of a patriarchal world, including Christianity. Bradley treats the subject with incredible sensitivity to the characters, pulling you into the story right from the start, allowing us to sympathize with the likes of Morgaine (Morgan Le Fay), Gwenwyfar (Lady Guinevere), Lancelot (Lancelet), Arthur, and many other key individuals. At times it made me fearful, moved, annoyed, and critical of characters views and positions, on religion and the place it holds in everyone's lives. I have read this before, and it gets better every time!
