King Bran tells Pryderi of a prophecy concerning the destiny of Wales. Meanwhile Brigid adapts to life in the Otherworld.

From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. Fantasy adventure series, based on the ancient myths of Wales.

The tales of the Mabinogi are tales of romance, tragedy, comedy and fantasy and together they form the earliest prose stories of Britain. Award-winning writer Lucy Catherine gives these stories a modern flavour while remaining true to the magic of Celtic mythology.
