Daughters of Avalon

Fearing her "gifts" will be used to defeat her sister Matilda, Elspeth Pendragon escapes the Black Mountain priory that has sheltered her and her four sisters since King Henry's death, only to find herself indebted to, of all men, a Scotsman, whose loyalties are in question.... Left to face the wrath of a new sovereign, Malcom Scott is forced to swear fealty to Stephen of Blois to keep the castle he won by slaying his own grandfather. But having done that, he's pitted himself against Scotland, and even his own father.

Malcom MacKinnon has been gone from Chreagach Mhor for more than ten years. He's never met the youngest MacKinnon, but while he's looking forward to their first meeting, Alexander Ailbeart MacKinnon isn't quite as enthusiastic to meet the brother who, in his eyes, abandoned their clan. Having received word Malcom and his new wife are on the way, he's on his heels now, making sure their home is safeguarded from forces that threaten his family's joy. Will the brothers finally come together after so long?

Facing the grim prospect of a forced marriage to a feckless minion of King Stephen's, Rosalynde, the defiant youngest daughter of Morwen Pendragon takes matters into her own hands. With the help of her mother's spell book and a stolen wimple, she disguises herself as a plain, matronly nun and flees her loveless fate. Giles de Vere, lord of Warkworth, is facing his own arranged marriage - to Rose's sister, the reclusive Seren, reputed to be the loveliest woman in all of Wales. But destiny has its own wayward plans.

Praised for her beauty and grace, deep down, Seren Pendragon fears a tempest rising inside her. Her mother is a witch, her sisters are in peril, and she has been promised to a beast of a man who's already murdered one king. When she and her youngest sister seize the opportunity for escape, neither realizes how much their struggle will cost, and it will take a terrible tragedy to unleash Seren's inner fire and true nature.

Rhiannon's destiny is fated from the moment of her birth. She and her dewine sisters must defeat an ancient evil, or Britain itself will go the way of Avalon. Her sisters and their champions have set the stage for an epic final battle against the Witch Goddess Cerridwen, but Rhiannon can only fulfill her destiny if she can win the heart of the Lord of Shadows, the man who holds her prisoner. Fueled by vengeance, Cael d'Lucy's ambition has raised him to the pinnacle of power. Concealing an ancient secret, he's close to achieving his desires.
