6. A Promise
Episode description
In the aftermath of the bloody war between Wales and Ireland, Brigid lies dying in the arms of her foster brother, Pryderi. She awakes in the Otherworld, struggling to make sense of her own death.
From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. Fantasy podcast 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.
