Review
"One man's heart will be the catalyst for broken dreams, evil vengeance and the heartache of loss as Alexa Whitewolf tells us a side to the legend of King Arthur that we never could have imagined in AVALON WISHES.
From deities whose punishment by their peers teaches them of love and humility to innocent humans who are caught in the crossfire of Merlin's light fae magic and the dark fae magic of his former lover, Morganna, this often dark tale will entrance its readers.
Was Guinevere Arthur's Achilles heel? Was he really meant for another who was pure of heart? Did Guinevere have a dark purpose in seducing the young king? Was she faithful? What of the Lady of the Lake? How did she become the legendary recluse?
What part did Merlin play in the darkness that befell those he cared for? What price will he pay?
Alexa Whitewolf has created her own magic that pours out from each page. Often dark, the stories of Merlin, Morganna and Arthur, as well as that of the Lady of the Lake and Mordred come alive, while their connections to each other and all of the other amazing characters become more than "just a story." Feel the joys, the twisted anger and fall into a tale of fantasy told like you have never experienced.
Told in three parts, each will tell a story of love, loss and its consequences when Merlin meddles in fate, the future and the lives of those he cares for. Sometimes even the best of intentions can become the worst of nightmares.
I received this copy from Alexa Whitewolf in exchange for my honest review."-TomeTender Blog
