www.morgenofavalonbooks.com "Weakland is a talented writer...(who) admirably weaves pacifistic themes in a novel thrawt with war." -- Foreword Clarion Review Forget everything you know about Morgan Le Fay and enter the world of Morgen of Avalon. She was King Arthur's healer, his love, the Faerie Queen destined to help him evoke peace throughout war torn Britannia. And so Avalon's brightest hope became human. Mortality proves a double-edged sword that dulls Morgen's memories, especially when fate separates her from Arthur at birth. Magical in every sense of the word, the new found princess so irritates High King Uther Pendragon that he imprisons her in a nunnery where she forgets her purpose -- even her connection to Arthur. What can she have in common with a brother who instigates bloodshed every time he enters a battlefield? How can they share the same peaceful goals? Darkness clouds all perception until Merlin, a mysterious enchanter, captures Morgen’s affections. This arch mage holds the key to uniting warrior and fairy, if he ignores the secret longings of his own heart. Passion and prophecy consume Morgen as she finds herself torn between two vastly different men while the battle for Britannia increases its fury. Set amidst the backdrop of King Arthur's turbulent rise to power, Morgen of Avalon Dreamspell, is the first in a series of romantic fantasy novels that introduces Arthur and Morgen as star crossed lovers—not the typical adversaries found in many Arthurian novels. Will their love be strong enough to over ride convention, free Britannia once and for all? Story Excerpt Morgen grasped hold of Arthur’s bloodied sleeve, but he easily shook free. All the anger, the horror of betrayal, spilled forth in one great cry. "Look at you, Morgen!—your hair, your cloak—your very hands caked with blood!" "As are yours! I see no difference between us—unless it be that I heal people, while you slaughter them!" "Morgen!" Merlin tried to intercede, but he was too late. Arthur grabbed Morgen by the wrists and held her fast. "Were you really out there healing Saxons—the very people who would have murdered all of us without a second thought?" Understanding broke through Morgen’s defenses, softening her heart. Arthur thought only of safeguarding the people by whatever means possible. War, at the present moment, was the only means he understood. Softly, she reached up on tiptoe and draped her arms around his neck. "Is it not possible that we each use different means to achieve the same goal? It is peace we seek now and forever. Surely we need not punish each other for that?"

The review below is one I gave for the Kindle edition; however, I was fortunate enough to meet the author and purchase a hard copy, so it is only appropriate that I share the review for the physical book as well!I must preface by stating, that despite "Ivanhoe" being my favorite book, this genre is not my typical reading fare. However, I was intrigued enough by the cover and brief description to take a chance and purchase the Kindle version. I am quite glad that I did. For me, the two criteria for whether I consider a book not only worth reading but enjoyable is whether my attention is completely captured and whether I become interested in and engrossed in the characters. Carol Weakland not only captures my attention with her lush and vividly descriptive writing but has created characters so engaging you are loathe to put the book down - in short, she has left me wanting more!
This is inspired and unique retelling of the legend that is King Arthur and the fantastic characters that surround his kingdom of Camelot. Although many have attempted to bring King Arthur and his feats to life on stage, in film or screen and of course, in poetry and prose; Weakland has meticulously woven factual and historical together with fantasy and romance that many are unable to do without coming across as trite or hokey. She paints a lyrical romance destined across all time and place never before imagined for the most famous of literary (and legendary) kings. Although the character of Morgen is often portrayed in literature as the magical force surrounding King Arthur, she is done so more often than not with evil intent. "Morgen of Avalon: Dreamspell" is far from evil as Weakland introduces her readers to the Queen of the Fairies who will, through undying and predestined love, ensure Arthur unites all of Britannia in peace and establish himself as the King of all Kings.
Although the first in a planned trilogy, Weakland presents the characters of Arthurian legend like Merlin, Lancelot and Guinevere with a host of new and not so well known characters - magical and human. Her ability to craft a poetically beautiful work while balancing the fantasy, romance and imagery that too often is a recipe for over-sentimentality and hokiness is a treat and just reward for the reader. Whether a great lover of this genre, an Arthurian fan or a curious yet reluctant reader, "Morgen of Avalon: Dreamspell" is a delight to read and one that will have the reader, like me, anxiously awaiting the second installment.

Morgen of Avalon Dreamspell 1 Carol J Weakland 9781456347581 Books Reviews
Carol Weakland's mystical and spellbinding story makes the mythical characters of Camelot come to life as never before. Enchanting and well-written, the book is one of those "hard to put down" novels. If you love magical, romantic, and adventurous historical fiction that includes elements of mystery and intrigue, you should read this book.
Morgen of Avalon, Dreamspell, is a beautifully written tale that plunges you into the heart of Arthurian legend with Morgen of Avalon distraught as Brittania is falling around her and as Arthur, King of Camelot, lies dying from a sword wound in her arms. For some reason her magical healing powers have faded, and she is the only one who can save him. With Merlin the wizard imprisoned in a hawthorn tree, the only way Morgen can help save Arthur, who somehow unconsciously resists her attempts to heal him, is to send him into the world of dreams, and she has only three nights in which she can journey into his past in this dreamworld to uncover what must be found to save him--for the key lies in his past.
Carol Weakland's writing is so lyrical and appropriate for the Arthurian style, and her writing reminds me of Stephen Lawhead's. It takes a special writer of great talent to do this iconic world justice. If you love the Camelot legends, don't miss this novel!
