What is Avalon?
Welcome to a world where magic is real and friendship is everything!
BACKGROUND Avalon: Web of Magic is a sweeping series of young adult fantasy novels published by Seven Seas Entertainment and distributed through Tor Books. Written by Rachel Roberts, the series features a magical and adventurous storyline, with positive messages for young people ages 8-12. The twelve-book series supports a continuing story arc starring three teenage girls and their animal friends, that centers on themes of friendship, triumph over adversity and love for nature.
THE STORY Magical animals from the world of Aldenmor have come through a portal at the Ravenswood Wildlife Preserve in Stonehill, Pennsylvania. Hurt, hungry, and barely alive, they seek three mages to save their world: a healer, a warrior, and a blazing star. Three teenage girls, Emily, Adriane, and Kara, the most unlikely of friends, discover they have been chosen. Together they will become mages and begin an extraordinary quest to find the home of all magic, a legendary place called Avalon.
But the animals did not come alone. The evil Dark Sorceress that hunted them is also searching for Avalon and will not stop until she gets what she wants: all of the magic.
How can Emily, Adriane, and Kara protect the animals of Ravenswood, hide the secret of magic, save the universe, and deal with high school? The answer arrives in one furry, constantly hungry and over-excitable being: a talking ferret named Ozzie! Ozzie is actually an elf sent to earth disguised as a ferret. He knows nothing about teenage girls but manages to teach them that bonding with animals and making friends creates the strongest magic of all.

The Quest
The portal between Earth and Aldenmor has opened once again. But the Magic Web is dying. New mages and magical animals have one last chance to work together and find the home of all magic: Avalon.
But the unthinkable has happened: a Dark Sorceress has risen to power on Aldenmor and her greed for magic is insatiable. The sorceress has been stealing magic from the animals of Aldenmor and storing it in giant crystals. Her failed experiments have created the poisonous Black Fire that has left her world sick and dying. Having drained nearly all of Aldenmor's magic, she too is searching for the legendary home of magic.
The guardians of Aldenmor, Fairimentals, are determined to find new human mages to work with magical animals. The most likely candidates are teenagers, ones old enough to take on the responsibility, but young enough to believe in the magic. They must find Avalon before the Dark Sorceress and use its magic to heal Aldenmor and the Magic Web. The Fairimentals have sent some of the last animals to a legendary sanctuary on Earth, the Ravenswood Wildlife Preserve, a place where mages and animals can be trained in magic.
But with the gateway finally opened, good magical creatures aren't the only ones crossing into our world. Evil ones are, too-including minions of the Dark Sorceress. Now, all worlds along the web are in danger. If the mages cannot find Avalon, the web will fall apart, permanently severing the connection between worlds. No human and magical animal will ever bond again, and magic will be lost forever. This is the last chance, the last hope to save the magic.
