The novel closes with the King Stag’s death and Morgaine’s long-anticipated return to Avalon. Like most versions of what has come to be known as the matter of Britain. Events spiral out of control when Lancelet returns, resumes his adulterous relationship with Gwenhwyfar, and is finally exposed. Marion Zimmer Bradleys The Mists of Avalon retells the legend of King Arthur. Enraged at this betrayal, Morgaine calls upon the Lady’s magic, which results in the mysterious 'disappearance' of the holy chalice, prompting the companions of the Round Table to embark on a 12-month quest to find it.

When she finally returns to Camelot, it is to retrieve Avalon’s Holy Regalia, now being used in a Christian mass. Publication: The Mists of AvalonPublication Record 201217 Author: Marion Zimmer Bradley Date: Catalog ID: 4804 Publisher: Alfred A. Grieving and still without Excalibur, Morgaine makes a hasty retreat to Avalon. When he refuses, Morgaine arranges a confrontation between her lover, Accolon, and Arthur in the kingdom of Fairy, resulting in Accolon’s death. This is the tragic tale of the rise and fall of Camelot - but seen through the eyes of Camelots women: the devout Gwenhwyfar, Arthurs Queen Vivane. Returning to Camelot during the Feast of Pentecost, Morgaine accuses Arthur of compromising the crown, and demands that he return Excalibur to her. Book Four finds Morgaine moving closer to the fate that will set her intractably against Arthur-her lover, brother, and now, enemy. Morgaine, gifted with the Sight and fated with her brother-lovers doom, recounts the glorious tragedy of Camelots brief flowering - not.
