Morgaine, gifted with the Sight and fated with her brother-lover's doom, recounts the glorious tragedy of Camelot's brief flowering - not as a tale of knightly deeds, but as a woman's rounded view of society in the crucible of change. Through the lives of pious Guinevere, ambitious Morgause, Priestess of Avalon Viviane and her successor as Lady of the Lake, Morgaine herself, this rich and haunting epic reveals a greater threat to the Old People than the Saxons. For the spread of patriarchal Roman ways and a narrow Christianity seem likely to drive the ancient worship of the Mother forever into the mists ...

A wounded Atlantean prince...a deadly battle between Dark and Light...and the sisters Deoris and Domaris, whose lives are changed utterly by the magic involving them. These are the elements of The Fall of Atlantis, Marion Zimmer Bradley''s epic fantasy about that ancient and legendary realm. On one side stand the Priests of the White Robe, guardians of powerful natural forces which could threaten the world if misused. Ranged against them are the Black Robes, sorcerers who secretly practice their dark arts in the labyrinthine caves beneath the very Temple of Light. Caught between are Domaris and Deoris, daughters of the Archpriest Talkannon, trapped in a web of deadly sorcery -- the same forbidden sorcery that could bring about The FALL of ATLANTIS Marion Zimmer Bradley began writing science fiction and fantasy in 1953. After many short stories and short novels in science fiction magazines, she published the first of her novels, The Door Through Space, in 1961. The following year she published The Sword of Aldones -- the beginning of her popular and monumental Darkover series -- which was nominated for that year''s Hugo Award for Best Novel. A later Darkover novel, The Forbidden Tower, was also nominated for a Hugo Award, and a third, The Heritage of Hastur, was nominated for a Nebula Award. Her works set on the planet Darkover, which adroitly combine science fiction and fantasy, are so popular that for twenty-five years an annual convention has been held for fans of the Darkover universe. Her most popular novel was The Mists of Avalon, which won the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel, spent months on the New York Times Best Seller List as a hardcover, then repeated the feat in a trade paperback edition. It has sold over a million copies, and has been filmed as a TV miniseries. Ms. Bradley died in 1999 (more) (less)
