Gillian attended the University of Michigan, where she earned her BA in English and another in Classical Greek, and won the Hopwood Prize for fiction with her first novel, Hawk of May. They didn't move around quite as much as one might expect after such a beginning: Washington was followed merely by Santiago, Chile, and two locations in Michigan. She was born in Washington DC in 1956, the second of four children. Gillian Bradshaw's father, an American Associated Press newsman, met her mother, a confidential secretary for the British embassy, in Rio de Janeiro. "Compelling…splendid…vibrant…exhilarating…a novel that seduces us into accepting sorcery and sanctity in King Arthur's England." "Will appeal to those who have enjoyed Tolkien's works."
"A welcome new light on the horizon of popular Arthurian legend…delightful…a strong sense of love and mysticism…a ripping adventure tale."
Disappointed in himself and despised by his father, Gwalchmai sets out on a journey that will lead him to the brink of darkness…Ī tale of loss, redemption, and adventure, Hawk of May brings new depth and understanding to Sir Gawain, the legend of King Arthur, and the impact of choices made-and the consequences that follow. A story of an uncertain man, doubting his ability to follow his elder brother's warrior prowess and seeking to find his own identity by bonding with his frightening and powerful mother. This is the story of Gwalchmai, middle son of the beautiful, infinitely evil sorceress Morgawse, and gifted student of her dark magical arts. Legends sing of Sir Gawain, one of the most respected warriors of King Arthur's reign and one of the greatest champions of all time. On The Path Toward Greatness, Every Hero Makes a Choice
Mary Renault, author of The King Must Die "Intelligent and imaginative…even the magic convinces."
