Synopsis

This imaginative retelling of the Arthurian legend centers around the pagan priestesses of Avalon, who compete for the soul of Great Britain against the rising tide of Christianity. Book Three takes the listener deeper into the political/religious rivalry in the years following Arthur’s coronation. Gwenhwyfar, in possession of a terrible secret, manipulates her husband to secure his loyalty to the Christian church, while Vivian’s decision to confront Arthur over his betrayal of Avalon results in tragedy. Behind the scenes, Morgaine arranges the marriage of Lancelet, who has become desperate over the hopeless triangle at Camelot. When Gwenhwyfar hears of his marriage, she vows revenge. Through her own marriage to Uriens of North Wales, Morgaine works to strengthen the cause of Avalon. She returns briefly to the Isle of Mists, only to discover that the time is not yet ripe for her to reign. Book Three concludes with the arrival of young Gwydion (Mordred) on the scene.

Estou cada vez mais envolvida nesta saga! Neste livro, Morgana está mais velha e continua à mercê das políticas e das crenças da corte de Artur. Não consigo gostar da Gwinnefar. A mulher tira-me do sério! Estou curiosa com o próximo. Quero ver se a Morgana se vai tornar a mulher poderosa que nasceu pa......more

Neste terceiro volume da série As Brumas de Avalon, acompanhamos os anos após a coroação do Rei Artur – sempre pela perspectiva das mulheres que o rodeiam.

Goodreads review by Chelsea on February 07, 2024

Oieee Mais um livro de As Brumas de Avalon concluído com sucesso (e surtos)! O Gamo Rei é o terceiro livro de quatro no compilado da primeira obra. O que me encanta na escrita da autora, é a simplicidade da história e ao mesmo tempo a complexidade dos personagens. Personagens intrigantes, com defeitos......more

Goodreads review by Diana Marques on September 30, 2013

In this volume I missed some of the magic that was present in the previous volumes. Morgaine has abandoned Avalon and renounced the Goddess and the life as a priestess. Therefore, there are few references to the Celtic culture, the Goddess and the mystique and power of Avalon. In this book it is mor......more
