У 9. веку, у удаљеном делу Ирске лежи утврђени самостан Келс, где мирно живи дванаестогодишњи Брендан. Напорно ради заједно са осталим монасима како би учврстили бедеме око самостана који их штите од викиншких напада. Али доласком брата Аидана, хваљеног мајстора илуминације и чувара необичне, но недовршене књиге, за дечака почиње авантура. Аидан подучава Брендана умећу илуминације пробудивши у њему скривени таленат. Брендан мора да доврши чаробну књигу. Мора да савлада најдубље страхове када га тајна потрага по први пут одведе изван зидина самостана у зачарану шуму где се скривају опасна митска бића. Ту упозна вилу Аислинг, тајновиту белу девојку/вукодлака, која ће му помоћи на путу. Али застрашујуће викиншке хорде све су ближе и питање је може ли Брендан својим умећем илуминације да осветли таму и докаже да је просветљење најбоља одбрана против варвара.
