Lady of Avalon attempts to bridge the gap between the events of The Forest House and those of The Mists of Avalon , beginning with the youth of Eilan's son Gawen and ending with the ascendance of Viviane. Interweaving history and myth in a near-seamless tapestry, Lady of Avalon takes up the story of Caillean, the first Lady of Avalon, who fled the Forest House when the politics of the various tribes and Roman invaders converged to destroy that sanctuary of the ancient religion.
