Quotes from Avalon Lost
“In a fair green world, both impossibly far and incredibly close to us,
Vivien Pendragon, AVALON LOST
lies the mystical isle of Avalon…“
Avalon was calling her, drawing towards its mysteries like a fisherman pulling codfish from the sea.
Philia Pendragon, AVALON LOST
“I told him anyone could change. I told him he could become a man worthy of honor again.” Like my father Madoc.
“Do you really believe that?”
“I—I don’t know. No. Yes, the traitor could change.” Will caught a sliver of his bruised reflection in the mirror, then lowered his eyes. “I have to believe people can change, Philia. Otherwise, what hope do I have for myself?”
Will Owain, AVALON LOST
