In stark, gaunt prose, it chronicals the years of Bran the Blessed--he who was so vast a man that no house could hold him nor ship bear his bulk--and of the tale of his beloved sister Branwen, his brother Manawyddan, and of his half-brothers Nissyen and the ghastly Evnissyen. It is a tale of change and storm, of love beyond death, of high courage, of the end of an era--and the beginning of another. It is epic fantasy in its purest form--marvelous in its compass and power.
