The story focuses on their duel natures of red and green and what their destinies will be. This book picks up again with Guiwenneth and Steven happy together with their two children, Jack and Yssobel and this is really their story. Mythago Wood began the story of the Huxley’s and followed Steven Huxley on his eventual journal into Ryhope Wood, following the mythago Guiwenneth, just like his father and brother before him. This is the last book in Robert Holdstock’s Mythago Cycle and Avilion itself a sequel to his first book Mythago Wood. Yssobel is dreaming increasingly of her Uncle Christian, Steven's brother, who disappeared into Lavondyss, and Jack wants to see 'the outer world' more than anything. The hunters who protected Guiwenneth as a child have come to warn her she is in danger. Jack is like his father, an active boy keen to know all about the outer world Yssobel takes after her mother, even to her long auburn hair. They also have two children, a combination of human and mythago. She is comfortable here, almost tied to the place, and Steven has long since abandoned all thought of returning to his own world. At the heart of Ryhope Wood, Steven and the mythago Guiwenneth live in the ruins of a Roman villa close to a haunted fortress from the Iron Age, from which Guiwenneth's myth arose.
