A powerless priestess. A legacy of lies.

A dormant magic waiting to ignite.

Priestess Mary has lived a shadowed life on Avalon, silenced by her vows. Determined to awaken her dormant fae magic, she defies ancient law and ventures to the mainland of Ancient Wales—an act that shatters her world.

Exiled for her actions and cast into the hands of her manipulative, estranged father, the druid Cyrus, Mary is no longer just a priestess; she is a target. Pursued by the blood-drinking Grymadder, she faces a perilous journey where visions foreshadow war, magic is unbound, and a forbidden attraction to a dangerous warder with a shifting nature threatens the wrath of the goddesses.


Caught between meddling deities and protectors she cannot trust, Mary must stop listening to the whispers of what others expect of her—and seize the power within her own blood, taking control of her journey. This isn’t just about returning home—it’s about survival. And as an imprisoned fae tribe calls for freedom, Mary must embrace her heritage, which is her greatest weapon and deadliest curse.

 

​Perfect for fans of the high-stakes Fae magic of Sarah J. Maas, the capable heroine in From Blood and Ash, the rich intrigue of Outlander, and the mythic atmosphere of Daughter of the Forest, this immersive, slow-burn historical romantasy explores the struggle for identity and the courage to forge a path of one’s own.

 

With themes of forbidden love and fated mates, this epic tale—where Welsh whispers within the fraying mists—is an essential read for those who crave origin stories that expand the heart of Avalon and Arthurian lore with Welsh mythical beings and beasts.

Why readers will be obsessed with the Magdalen of Avalon series:

  • The World: An atmospheric mythical retelling set in ancient Wales, perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings's atmosphere, Daughter of the Forest's Celtic lore, and the intrigue and realism of A Game of Thrones.

  • The Heroine: A capable maiden discovering her power, perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash.

  • The Stakes: High-stakes magic that will appeal to fans of Sarah J. Maas. 

 

A Note on the Burn: This is a high-tension, slow burn novel. While the magic of Avalon is ancient and the battles are bloody, the chemistry between Mary and her warder is a simmering fuse that hasn't been lit—yet. Expect agonizing yearning, "touch-her-and-you-die" protection, and a heat level that promises to explode as the series continues to weave in open-door steam.
