Avalon: Web of Magic

Avalon: Web of Magic, also known as Avalon: Quest for Magic, is a twelve-book young adult fantasy series by American author Rachel Roberts, published from 2001 to 2010. The story follows three contemporary girls—Emily Fletcher, Adriane Charday, and Kara Davies—who become mages, or highly skilled magic users. They must work together to find and safeguard Avalon, the source of all magic, while battling the Dark Sorceress and the Spider Witch, who seek to corrupt the Magic Web for their own purposes. The Magic Web is a mystical plane connecting all worlds through portals.

In the first book, *Circles in the Stream*, the three girls are drawn to a secret forest location, where they discover a portal to another world. Peaceful magical animals are fleeing through it, pursued by evil. The girls are chosen by beings called Fairimentals to protect these animals, though they don't understand why. To save them, they must find Avalon or die trying.

In *All That Glitters*, Kara finally obtains a magical gem—a diamond unicorn horn—but it causes trouble: her hair grows uncontrollably and turns rainbow-colored, dragonflies appear, and monsters stalk her. The girls must uncover the gem's secrets to get closer to Avalon, but the quest may cost one of them her life.

*Cry of the Wolf* focuses on Adriane and her mistwolf, Stormbringer. When Storm is lured through a portal to the magical world of Aldenmor, Adriane follows. She must confront the mistwolf pack leader, Moonshadow, and bring Storm home with help from a boy named Zach and her fellow mages.

In *The Secret of the Unicorn*, Aldenmor's troubles grow as the Fairy Glen vanishes and a wounded unicorn arrives in Ravenswood. Emily must communicate with the unicorn to learn its dark secret, while a harpy threatens her.

*Spellsinger* features a benefit concert for the Ravenswood Wildlife Preserve, where Kara books pop idol Johnny Conrad. Conrad may hide a dangerous secret that endangers the animals and the girls, and their chance to find Avalon depends on their performance.

*Trial by Fire* reveals the path to Avalon on a fairy map held by Kara. The Dark Sorceress also seeks the map, and the girls must become the healer, warrior, and blazing star they are meant to be, even if it means sacrificing a beloved friend.
