Brendan, a twelve-year-old monk, participates in the construction of a surrounding wall to keep the abbey at bay from regular Viking assaults. His encounter with Brother Aidan, a renowned master illuminator and “guardian” of a book of fabulous illuminations that is not yet complete, will lead him on fantastic adventures. Aidan initiates Brendan into the art of illuminations, for which the young boy reveals a prodigious talent.
