Saint Patrick was the missionary bishop who carried the Gospel to Ireland. How does a comfortable boy from a Romano-British household become a captive in a foreign wilderness, only to discover the God who would send him back to his captors?

At sixteen, Patrick was seized from his prosperous family at Bannavem Taburniae and carried across the sea by Irish raiders. Set to work as a captive shepherd in the freezing uplands of Mayo or Antrim, he began to pray out of sheer desperation, finding an unexpected grace in the silence. A voice in the night directed his escape to a waiting ship, leading him through a Gaulish wilderness and eventually back to Britain. Yet the safety of his family could not quiet the recurring dream of a man named Victoricus, bringing letters from the very people who had enslaved him. The narrative closes on the shore of his departure, as Patrick stands ready for consecration as bishop, answering the call to walk among the Irish once more.
