Plot Synopsis: Twelve-year-old Brendan lives a quiet life at the Kells monastery with his uncle, Abbott Cellach, but this changes with the arrival of the charismatic Brother Aidan, a master illuminator who takes Brendan under his wing and teaches him his ancient art. In order to finish the magnificent book, Brendan must overcome his deepest fears on a journey that will take him beyond the abbey walls for the first time. In the enchanted forest beyond, he meets the good fairy Aisling, a mysterious young wolf-girl who rescues him from wolves and helps him to complete his dangerous and top-secret quest, even as the Viking hordes close in around them.
