1909. The Ottoman Empire. A Turkish guard delivers a warning: “It will only get worse.”
Melkon Jenanyan is a Christian minister in a land that wants him dead. As an Armenian in the crumbling Ottoman Empire, he’s almost survived the massacres of 1909, the second wave of a genocide most of the world doesn’t yet recognize. But when a Turkish guard risks his own life to warn Melkon’s family to flee, the message is clear: this is only the beginning.
His family begs him to run. His wife fears for their children. His congregation is scattering, desperate to escape what’s coming. But Melkon believes God has called him to stay, to preach, to serve, to bear witness, even as the empire’s machinery of death grinds closer. The cost of that faith will be devastating.
