Vrenessbith - Buck, E Gale

. .

Résumé :
Angus Gregor has been translating scrolls from ancient Highlanders for most of his life. Now, as he reaches the end of this journey, he gives the job to his grandson. Alex discovers how Vrenessbith, the Guardian of the Highlands, explored a magical realm few knew existed. This world encompasses memories of the Scottish Highlands back to the beginning of time, revealing secret mysteries many of today's best scientists have failed to understand. Scrolls also reveal a history of early settlers to these great mountains. Their struggles, their victories, their loves and how their interminable spirit kept them alive through a war with a society of powerful women, Comann Bana-Bhuidseach. These hags believed the mountains belonged to them and highlanders were unwelcome invaders. Modern struggles for Angus and their village seem to parallel those of ancient time, until auld memories reveal pathways to victory - to both sides.
