Artwork for The Book of the Western Veil
A Welsh Mythology Saga in Story and Song The great dragon will return. In the youth of the world, when God called for builders to shape a home for His children, he answered first. These hills rose at his command. He labored long, thinking all was for his own kind. But the vineyard was always intended for the children of Adam. For fragile creatures who would receive what the mightiest of beasts could not possess. In that betrayal, his purpose turned to poison, and now he returns to unmake his creation. For a thousand generations a guardian kept watch where rain drives against ancient stone and mist clings to the valleys of Wales. Warmth gathered around fires in the dark months. Laws held without witness. Mercies shown that carried no glory. He watched, guarded, and taught his people the dream of Cymru, but he was blind to what grew beneath his watch. In winter's depth, a prince stood between two paths and chose the one that led to his grave. Then all that had been forged in secret was made plain. The Unmaker returns. All that was born in shadow now faces the flame. This is The Book of the Western Veil. What You'll Hear This epic saga combines stories from the Mabinogion, Welsh history, and tales from the mountains and valleys of Cymru. Each episode brings you: Fireside Tales - The oral histories passed down through generations. Cautionary stories that explain how Welsh customs, laws, and sayings came to be. Tales of stubborn goat kings, shadow traders who became keepers, and the thin boundary between the mortal realm and Annwn, the Welsh otherworld. Chronicles - The great events that shaped Wales. Historical moments reimagined through the lens of myth, where Roman roads follow ancient pathways, and the choices of princes echo through centuries. Second Dawn: The Musical of the Mabinogion - The legendary tales of the Mabinogion brought to life through story and song, where the ancient myths of Wales meet soaring musical theatre. A warning runs through the bones of the mountains. By the next moon, Brenin Fawr will cross the Western Veil.
