Ancestors of Avalon is a 2004 historical fantasy novel by American writer Diana L. Paxson, based on an idea of Marion Zimmer Bradley.
The book is one of 7 prequels to Bradley's fantasy novel Mists of Avalon. The characters of Ancestors of Avalon have appeared earlier in Bradley's fantasy novel The Fall of Atlantis. Ancestors of Avalon is the missing link to the implied connection to the mythical Atlantis in Bradley's Avalon-series.
