About
The bards have sung this tale the length and breadth of Britain.
The story of the momentous birth of the legendary Arthur - the story of the fear, hate and love between him and his half-sister Morgan the Fay. But never before have there been five tellings, each by a witness to the mythical events:
Gwennol Far-Sight, Morgan's childhood nurse and a wise woman in the ways of sacred pagan magic.
Luned, the young white nun, who fears her own soul has been contaminated by Morgan's passions.
Teilo, who was once a proud and powerful Smith of the Old Religion, condemned to live as a woman amongst Morgan's maids, because of his unwise ambition.
The bard Taliesin, bred to sing of war and red slaughter and glorious death.
And finally Morgan the Fay herself speaks, the Goddess, the witch,whose story has shape-shifted down the centuries,a force for destruction or a force for healing?
(Note: this volume collects the whole series).
