Assembly of the severed head - Hugh Lupton

• O stea, bazat pe 1 voturi

• A small monastic outpost in 13th Century Wales is rocked to its core when a gruesome discovery is made on the nearby shoreline: a severed human head.
• It's the first of several to wash up along the surrounding coast, and not long after, the holy brothers stumble across the smouldering ruins of a bardic school with a pile of decapitated bodies inside.
• Only one survivor, barely alive, is found hiding nearby.
• He is Cian Brydydd Mawr, the greatest bard of his age, who holds in his head the four `branches' of an ancient, epic Welsh myth cycle: The Mabinogion.
• Physically weak but strong willed, he asks the monks to put aside their rigid Christian doctrine and commit his oral tales to parchment before the stories of spirits and shape-shifters, giants and time-travellers, curses and spells, are lost forever...
