When Aoife herself visits the old monastery in the middle of the night, surprisingly, she find out that history is not so boring after all.

Nuair a thagann geansaí gránna eile sa phost uaithi tá rogha ag Ottó - caithfidh sé rud éigin a dhéanamh... Léifidh Sadhbh óna leabhar nua agus beidh deis agaibh bhur geansaithe féin a dhearadh freisin!
