Avalon: Web of Magic is a series of twelve YA fantasy novels created by Robert Mandell and written by American author Rachel Roberts which has sold over 3 million copies by 2013. Some of them were also released under the title Avalon: Quest for Magic and there is a related graphic novel series, Avalon: The Warlock Diaries. A film adaptation is currently in the works by Minds Eye Entertainment for a planned 2017 release.
Emily Fletcher, Adriane Charday, and Kara Davies, three very different girls-turned-mages (mages are highly skilled "magic users"), band together to protect and find Avalon, the very source of all magic. Each girl has a bonded animal and magic stone; their animal friends help them on their magical journeys through the different worlds along the Magic Web. The safety of the Magic Web, and the worlds it connects together, hangs on their success as they battle two main antagonists, the Dark Sorceress and the Spider Witch, who wish to harness the tremendous magical energy and magic of Avalon and distort the Magic Web for their own evil ends. The titular Web of Magic is a web on the magical, mystical plane of existence, connecting all worlds and planets with each other through mystical portals.
The six Avalon: Web of Magic books were originally published by Scholastic Corporation. After the end of the Web of Magic series, the rights were obtained by CDS publishers, who reprinted the first six books, along with the first four volumes of the six-book Avalon: Quest for Magic sequel series.
Out of print for three years, new editions of the books were published by Seven Seas Entertainment, with updated cover art, revised text, the addition of in-book illustrations and an informational section. Seven Seas also released the last two volumes of the series, Dark Mage and Full Circle, never before published. The Quest for Magic subtitle is no longer used, with the second series books published under the original Web of Magic subtitle.
The novel series was revised again for an omnibus edition, starting with Avalon: Web of Magic Omnibus 1, including the first three books and published in May 2012. According to Amazon.com, "This edition comes brimming with lovely illustrations, ornate maps, and a bonus bestiary of fantastical creatures."
