Magic, fantasy and Celtic mythology come together in a riot of color and detail that dazzle the eyes in this sweeping story about the power of imagination and faith to carry humanity through dark times.

Will his determination and artistic vision conquer darkness and show that enlightenment is the best fortification against evil?
