Patrick Son of Ireland historical Stephen Lawhead

Patrick by Stephen Lawhead, from Harper Collins, 454 pages, 2004.

It is the summer of 405AD, and sixteen-year-old Succat has been torn from his home by Irish raiders and taken across the sea to be sold as a slave.

His repeated escape attempts lead to ever more savage beatings from his new masters, until he strikes up an unlikely friendship with a young Druid, Cormac.  As Succat learns the ways of the Irish people, he realised that the cult so feared and hated by his fellow Britons may be his only chance of escape.

Welcomed into their brotherhood, Succat accepts a new name and experiences a vision so powerful that others believe he is marked for greatness.  Yet in his heart he desires only to return home; but when the chance finally comes he finds only devastation.  And so begins a journey that will lead him to Gaul, and the brutal life of a soldier facing the barbarian hordes across the Rhine.

There is a price tag ($4.95) on the back cover.  This book is Used and in Good condition.
