Aranmanoth is a coming-of-age novel about life and love, starring a half-human, half-magical boy, son of the Lord of the Lines and a water fairy. In a Middle Ages overshadowed by endless wars, Aranmanoth sets out in search of his destiny, moving away from other mortals and obeying mysterious signs from the leaves of the trees and the birds that cross the sky. Aranmanoth and Windumanoth, his beloved girl, wife of his father, travel in pursuit of a dream of fullness, towards the promised land of their childhood that, little by little, reveals itself within. On this journey through the symbolic lands of a mythical and sensual Middle Ages, they will learn that beauty and love entail pain, and that reality always besieges desires and dreams.
