content

The Druid is set in the late 5th century and describes the conflicts between the new religion and the dying old faith. After three ritual murders of monks, the remaining monks are expected to clear up the murders quickly. Since all references point to the cult of the druids, it is decided to instruct the druid Gwen'chlan to investigate the murders. Gwen'clan obeyed the request, as he had an old friendship with the monk Budog. From now on, Gwen'clan and his students Taran and Budog try to solve the murders.
