Synopsis
| Synopsis | Ireland in the 9th century... Brendan is a 12-yea- old orphan who lives in the abbey-fortress of Kells. This is where he meets old brother Aidan, master illuminator and keeper of a fabulous Book. It will change Brendan's life. As from that moment, Brendan is bewitched by the mermaids of Creation and soon becomes obsessed with the idea to become master illuminator himself and to finish the Book! But before achieving his goal, he has to stand up against the abbot of Kells (his uncle) and enter the forest where a thousand dangers are expecting him. Helped by a savage twelve-year-old boy named Aisling, Brendan faces his biggest fears, and even death. Bloodthirsty Vikings, a mythical god-snake and a real spirit of the forest are only a few of the encounters Brendan makes during his stunning journey towards imagination... |
