Through the lives of pious Guinevere, ambitious Morause, Priestess of Avalon Viviane and her successor as Lady of the Lake, Morgaine herself, this rich and haunting epic show more reveals a greater threat to the Old People than the Saxons.

Epoustouflant!
Superbement inspirée de la légende arthurienne, insistant sur l'omniprésence et le rôle des femmes : reine, prêtresse, fée... on plonge avec délice dans les anciennes croyances et les rites de la Grande-Bretagne !
Toujours aussi passionnant !
Magnifique suite que l'on a plaisir à dévorer ! Vous saurez tout sur les aventures extraordinaires de Morgane et d'Arthur !
