Summary
Although born to rule, Aidan lives as a scribe in a remote Irish monastery on the far, wild edge of Christendom. Secure in work, contemplation, and dreams of the wider world, a miracle bursts into Aidan's quiet life. He is chosen to accompany a small band of monks on a quest to the fabled city of Byzantium, where they are to present the beautiful and costly hand-illuminated Book of Kells to the emperor of all Christendom. During this expedition by sea and over land, Aidan becomes, by turns, a warrior and a sailor, a slave and a spy, a Viking and a Saracen, and finally, a man. He sees 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 faces the greatest trial confronting any man in any age: the command of his own destiny.

I really enjoyed the book, with the excellent narrator pulling me right into the story. This was one of the books that was worth every minute of listening. It gets a “Favorite” nod from me.

Outstanding novel. The journey Aidan takes both physically and spiritually is amazing, believable, riveting. I was unsure about the narrator. His voice seemed to drone on at first , but later on it just became a part of Aidan’s personality to me - understated and humble.
