Kidnapped as a boy and sold into slavery in Ireland, Patrick spent many brutal years away from his family and friends and should have hated the Irish people.
Yet having escaped, he was drawn back to challenge the High King, his warriors and the great druids who fought against him with all their magic powers.
This was a battle Patrick had to win and it changed a way o f life forever.
