Great Tree of Avalon series.
In this last book of the trilogy, Tamwyn, Elli, Scree, and Brionna continue their quest to save Avalon from the spirit warlord Rhita Gawr. Although the writing is vague at times, lacking concrete imagery to ground the reader, the story's traditional fantasy elements are apparent. Three detailed maps precede the text, and a history of Avalon is included at the end.
