A spellbinding story of a young French prince and a Cornish girl caught up in the intrigue of the 10th Century English Court. '[Anya Seton] brought history so vividly to life' (Philippa Gregory)

Merewyn has grown up in savage 10th Century Cornwall; a lonely girl, sustained by stubborn courage and pride in her descent from the great King Arthur.

Rumon, a young French prince, has always dreamed of finding the idyllic island of hearsay and legend, Avalon.

He gladly leaves his home in Provence but his hopes are dashed when his ship is wrecked off the Cornish coast. Rumon and Merewyn meet and from that hour their lives are intertwined.

They make their way to the court of King Edgar and his beautiful young queen. At first they are dazzled but there is evil lurking in the corridors of power . . .

Stretching from France to the eastern shores of America to the plains of Greenland, the journeys of Rumon and Merewyn make for an unforgettable saga.

A triumph . . . Fast-moving, exciting and all-action. Avalon has terrific pace, crisp dialogue . . . Seton makes even the minor characters into vivid, convincing folk. A splendid full-length portrait - Evening News

Perhaps the greatest gifts Anya Seton brings to her historical novels are the zest of her narrative, the life she breathes into the most insignificant characters, and the atmosphere of the era she evokes around them - Books and Bookmen

Anya Seton takes us into other worlds, making us live for a few hours on a grand scale - Woman's Journal

Wonderful historical novels - Alison Weir

Miss Seton's enthusiasm for both character and period is infectious - Daily Telegraph
