Among the saints of Ireland, he is second only to Patrick...
Brendan is all set to become an ordained priest under the guidance of his mentor, Bishop Erc, a former druid and one of Saint Patrick's original disciples. But he harbours an insatiable wanderlust that foils Erc's plans.
Determined to shape his own destiny, Brendan embarks on a great pilgrimage around Ireland, amassing a loyal band of followers from fellow monks to a pet raven named Preachan. Though he establishes two monasteries and rises to the rank of abbot, one dream refuses to leave him.
And so, gathering a band of brothers to his side, he leads a dangerous voyage into the unknown vastness of the ocean to seek out the mythical Isle of the Blessed.
Part-diary, part-retelling, this is an extraordinary account of a spellbinding adventure set in the thin lines where one world meets another, perfect for fans of Ken Follett and Madeline Miller.
