Book description
The spellbinding novel from one of the world's best-loved authors,
Paulo Coelho, now in ebook.
This is the story of Brida, a young Irish girl, and her quest for
knowledge. She has long been interested in various aspects of magic, and
has taken courses in astrology, tarot, and numerology, but is searching
for something more. Her search leads her to people of great wisdom, who
begin to teach her about the world.
Her teachers sense that Brida has a gift, but cannot tell what that is.
Meanwhile, Brida pursues her course ever deeper into the mysteries of
life, seeking to answer questions about who she is. She meets a wise man
who dwells in a forest, and teaches her about overcoming her fears and
trusting in the goodness of the world, and a woman who teaches her how
to dance to the music of the world, and how to pray to the moon. She
seeks her destiny, as she struggles to find a balance between her
relationships and her desire to become a witch.
