Vengeance of Avalon #1

by Mariah Lynde

The Isle of Magic has long been a secret that was shrouded in mystery and rumor. Many stopped believing in such a place but a few remain that seek out its power. Many have wondered if the Isle and its mystical city of Avalon could have ever existed. Even now a war is being fought for the very survival of our worlds, yet few people know that it is even taking place. Those that do are left with only whispered words of Avalon and the Isle of Magic that once existed.Three thousand years ago, the city of Avalon fell in one day, yet no one truly knows how it happened or just why it was such a loss to the whole of the realms. This is the story of what created that mystical place of dreams and magic. It is the tale of those days where all forms of mystical creatures thrived and what eventually led to their downfall. This is the story of Avalon’s creation and the beginning of the War of Darkness that now threatens us all

Awesome in it's scope and power, this book chronicles the formation of Avalon. Merlin wants to bring harmony to the universe by bringing every realm together. His work comes together to form the great city of Avalon. The struggles of the elders lead to the coming conflict. Mariah Lynde has a wonderful way of describing the magical world that is Avalon. It could easily be put into a movie, but I think I would rather leave it to my imagination.
*** I was given this book as a gift from the author in exchange for my honest review. ***

This was a very enjoyable debut novel. I always enjoy reading any story about Merlin and this one did not disappoint. Merlin has been done a lot but there were some new twists here and I am looking forward to reading the upcoming additions to find out more about his story. This book obviously was setting up for the next books but could still be a stand alone book. If you like reading about Merlin and Avalon, then this is the book for you. :-)
