About this listen

Bridei is a young nobleman, a fosterling of one of the most powerful druids in the land, Broichan. All of Bridei's earliest memories are of this dark and mysterious man he trusts above all others. Broichan seems to have plans for Bridei, seems to be training him for a special purpose the older man will not divulge.

One bitter Midwinter's Eve, everything changes when Bridei finds a child on their doorstep - a child abandoned by the Fair Folk.

It is the height of ill fortune to have truck with the Fair Folk, and all in the area counsel the babe's death. But Bridei sees an old and precious magic at work and, heedless of the danger, fights to save the child. Broichan is wary but relents, for Bridei must grow to be his own man and make his own decisions.

As Bridei comes to manhood, he watches the shy girl Tuala blossom into a beautiful woman, and feels things he didn't know were possible.

Broichan sees the same process and feels only danger, for Tuala could be a key part in Bridei's future...or could spell his doom.

I have bought the whole of the Bride Trilogy now, all of which are excellently written, & loosely based on historical accuracy. The first, is most certainly my favourite of the series, yet all are enthralling, enchanting & full of mystery and intrigue.
a truly unique and creative interpretation of our druidic and pagan hereditary. Further into the trilogy, touching upon the amalgamation of both Pagan, & Christian ideology, at the crucial point of change from the old, into the new.
I would highly recommend this series if myth, magic, love & hate, life & death, & beliefs of the past and present is something that would be able to grab your attention and hold you transfixed. Well worth a listen!
