The Mists of Avalon Author: Marion Zimmer Bradley. It covers the classic story of King Arthur but its not no happy walt disney version of this story its actually very mature and grown up and has its darker elements to it.
Here's a short blip about the book that is found on chapters.indigo.ca
Arthur sits on the throne of Britain, and it is his task to maintain the uneasy balance between the old ways and the new. But although the knights of Camelot owe their first allegiance to Arthur, the king himself is held in the sway of several powerful women, each of whom is determined to bend his authority toward her own ends. In The Mists of Avalon Marion Zimmer Bradley spins a familiar tale, but lends it a refreshing quality... for it is not the story of Gawaine, Arthur, or Launcelot. Instead, it is the story of Gwenhwyfar, Viviane and Morgaine - the women relegated to the shadows by legend and history, but who ply their invisible influence nevertheless.
another good fantasy is the series Writen by Holly Taylor that also tells of King Arthur but is different than the previous that i mention it relies on the traditions of the culture in which the story is set. there is a lot of Celtic practices that are mentioned in the books and the second book covers what hint at the christian traditions and the struggle between the two for the protagonist in these books.
the books in this series are thus far. Night Birds Reign, Crimson Fire and Cry of Sorrow and soon to be released May Earth Rise with a release date set for june but may be delayed
here's teh blips from these books as well:
Night Birds Reign: The legend is as old as time ...
The High King is dead. The land is in peril. A child has been born to save his people. But a traitor lurks with evil in his mind and murder in his heart, dogging the footsteps of those who protect the babe who would be king.
But magic is at work, high magic.
Gwydion the Dreamer awakes, screaming, from a prophetic dream of tragedy and loss, a dream peopled by kings of the past. Though he thinks he is not ready, the Shining Ones lay a task upon him: protect young Arthur; and locate Caladfwich, the lost sword of the last, murdered High King of Kymru.
Dodging assassins to find the woman who holds the key to unlock a horrible secret, and fighting the longings of his own shattered heart, Gwydion sets out upon his odyssey. And finds that fate cannot be fulfilled without sacrificing the life of someone he loves ...
Crimson Fire: In the land of Corania, the lone survivor of a shipwreck, a Kymric woman, makes her way to shore, gives birth to her child, and dies. So begins a cycle of events that will end in a tragic war.
Havgan of Corania knows he is different from others, although he does not know why. He does know, however, he hates the witches of Kymru with all his heart. When his years of scheming come to fruition and he becomes Warleader of Corania, he sets the might of the Empire against Kymru.
In Kymru, Gwydion the Dreamer dreams of the coming destruction of his country and the deaths of those he loves. Desperate to unravel the truth of the dream, he seeks out Rhiannon and together they join in a race against time. Traveling to Corania to spy on Havgan, they are accepted into his household and try to uncover his plans while concealing their true identities. In their frantic attempt to save Kymru, they risk everything. But when an unthinking action threatens to doom them all, Gwydion and Rhiannon must fight not only to discover Havgan's secret, but understand why Havgan seems so hauntingly familiar.
And escape Corania alive …
Cry of Sorrow: The Coranians have won the war, Kymru is defeated. For Havgan, however, the victory is not complete.
Cadair Idris, the hall of the High Kings, remains closed to him. To gain entrance he must locate the Four Treasures—the Stone, the Spear, the Cauldron and the Sword—and bring them to the Guardian of the Doors. Only then can he proclaim himself High King of Kymru.
But the Treasures were hidden long ago, after the death of the last High King. To find them Gwydion the Dreamer must locate a long-forgotten song, and the clues it contains. Following the dictates of the song, he persuades Rhiannon, her daughter Gwenhwyvar, and his nephew Arthur to set out with him on the dangerous quest.
Dogged by Havgan's soldiers they race against time to find the artifacts. But the difficult journey is made even harder by the distrust they have for each other, as well as the necessity to face their own worst fears in order to succeed and gain entrance into Cadair Idris—only to watch helplessly as Arthur risks his life, and his very soul, on the next move in the deadly game.
The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. Good, good series. And anything by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. You might like the series that begins with "Hawksong." The other series begins with "Into the forests of the night." It was her first book.
omg i just finished reading the percy jackson series
