Guardian of the Balance

This tour de force series begins in the time of Merlin & Arthur, when the balance of power is shifting between the old gods & their magic, & that of the new Christian faith. Merlin, gifted with true prophecy & pledged to the ancient Druidic gods, is sworn to preserve the old values & to protect the Earth & its people. Lured by the spell of the earth goddess, he forsakes his vow of celibacy for one Beltane festival, & the result is his daughter Wren, first in the line of his descendants, all of whom will be sworn to preserve the natural balance of the world. And although Wren is gifted in the ancient magics, & her rightful place should have been in Avalon, she is instead thrust into the heart of the political & religious struggles of a society on the brink of chaos, forced to confront an overwhelming evil which may well destroy Merlin, Arthur, & her entire civilization.Radford, Irene is the author of 'Guardian of the Balance' with ISBN 9780886778262 and ISBN 0886778263.
