Although given birth to to rule, Aidan lives as a scribe in a distant Irish monastery on the much, wild advantage of Christendom. Secure in work, contemplation, and dreams of the wider world, a miracle bursts into Aidan's quiet life. He's chosen to go along with a small group of monks on the pursuit to the fabled city of Byzantium, where they are to present the stunning and costly hand-illuminated Booklet of Kells to the emperor of all Christendom. During this expedition by sea and over land, Aidan becomes, by changes, a warrior and a sailor, a slave and a spy, a Viking and a Saracen, and lastly, a guy. He views more of the world than most men of his time, becoming an ambassador to kings and an intimate of Byzantium's fabled Golden Court. And finally, this valiant Irish monk encounters the best trial confronting any man in any age: the command line of his own destiny.
