Book Description
HEADS WILL ROLL! Lily of Avalon is the long-awaited fifth book in the popular Seven Sisters of Avalon series. Like the first four books, Lily takes her readers on a fantastic journey through the "Britain Beyond" of the late sixth century when those who worship the Goddess face harsh conversion tactics from the Christian Church which has now risen to dominance. The Daughters of Avalon begins the series with the story of Bran and Lillian, while Rose of Avalon, Aster of Avalon, Iris of Avalon, and now Lily of Avalon tell the stories of their daughters who go into the seven kingdoms of Britain to return magic to the land and liaison with the country's leaders to protect the people of the Goddess. Lily of Avalon marks an unexpected turn in the eight book series and like the classic fairy tale on which it is based, just when you think you've figured out the story, you fall through the looking glass and find that everything you thought you knew is now backwards. In this volume, Lily, a troubled seer who knows just how different she is from her sisters, takes a mysterious journey to Powys to act as a Holy Fool for King Cynan, a savagely ambitious and tyrannical ruler. Imprisoned in a court of madness, she encounters a world she could not imagine and a cast of bizarre characters beyond her wildest visions as she fights to keep her wits and her head both in their proper places. Praise for Lily of Avalon: What do fans of the Seven Sisters of Avalon series have to say about the newest release in the eight-book series? "I found this book fun to read and fast paced. I did not want to put it down. The beginning was familiar on the shores of Avalon then following Lily's adventure to a terrifying end and mystery as to where or when is she now. There is just so much I love about this author's work. I love how the storytelling weaves fact and fiction and how it's fun and then downright scary. Skipping along reading and laughing and then racing in terror through dinner. I don't want this to be the end. No matter where or when this story goes, I want to be there." ...Dotti Moore "Lily of Avalon is the sixth book in the Seven Sisters of Avalon series and Katrina Rasbold does not disappoint! The intensity in the story line as we follow Lily and her fascinating cast of characters is interwoven with deeper meaning and thought-provoking details. Regular readers will have the surprise eureka moment we have all come to love with this series. Love love loved it, Katrina!!!! Just WOW!" ...Sondra Rae Hudson "The reader is deftly brought into this sister's quest as the author masterfully brings history and fantasy together into possibility. One is brought into the thoughts, emotions, fears and insecurities of this untested Priestess of Avalon embarking on her individual journey. Ms. Rasbold brings the reader along through a maze of acceptance among the madness of Lily's unrestrained gifts. In the process, one questions our own perceptions, what is real and what is illusion, quickly choosing to follow that rabbit as he races for his hole." ...Edye Cheeseman

The Dogs of Avalon: The Race to Save Animals in Peril
Author: Laura Schenone
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 039324878X
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Bark magazine After adopting an Irish sight hound, Laura Schenone discovers a remarkable and little-known fight to gain justice for dogs and for all animals. Greyhounds, bred to be the fastest racing dogs on earth, are streaks of lightning. Beautiful, astonishing creatures, countless numbers of them disappear each year once they can no longer compete and win. The Dogs of Avalon introduces us to the strong-willed Marion Fitzgibbon, born in rural Ireland, where animals are valued only for their utility. But Fitzgibbon believes that suffering is felt by all creatures, and she champions the cause of strays, baffling those around her—including her family—as she and a group of local women rescue any animal in need and taking on increasingly risky missions. When Fitzgibbon becomes head of the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and focuses on the cause of the greyhound, she faces an entrenched racing industry protected by money and power. She joins forces with an American greyhound activist, a foxhunter’s wife, a British lady, and an influential German animal rescuer to create an international network to find these animals homes, confront the racing industry, and provide safe havens where animals can live in peace. The Dogs of Avalon brings forward the people on the other side of the tracks—Irish Travellers (a people whose Celtic history goes back centuries), dogmen who hope to win big—together with a host of animals on two continents—circus tigers in Ireland, wild monkeys in the Yucatan, dolphins in a marine animal park in Florida, and one very special Irish sight hound in New Jersey named Lily. In this potent David and Goliath story, Schenone’s journey helps us understand our deep connection to animals and gives us inspiration in the form of the unforgettable Fitzgibbon, who grapples with compassion and activism and shows the difference we are all capable of making in the world.
