Georgios was destined for greatness--at least that is what his grandparents told him, his father assured him, and his mother had left embedded in his heart. Living on the island of Patmos in the year 100 A.D. surrounded by the Aegean Sea, he knew the world through Greek eyes, but he also knew there was more to life than a home built on a rock. At the age of thirteen Georgios takes an unexpected voyage, almost murders his first real friend, gets waylaid by Celtic traders, and inadvertently discovers the truth about his father. What he learns horrifies him, forcing him into a decision and an adulthood he is not ready for. In facing his father honestly, Georgios finds the strength to accept his grandfather's vision and is thrust into the most dangerous adventure of all.
