Description
Against a backdrop of war and famine, an eleven-year-old orphan named Martin embarks on a heroic quest to recover a kidnapped child, clear his name after a false accusation, and win a sleep-deprivation competition. By his side is a black rooster, his protector and friend.
With integrity and courage guiding him, Martin navigates a morally complex landscape that has been ravaged by conflict. Joined by an itinerant painter, he faces challenges that test his resolve and force him to confront the darker aspects of human nature.
This gripping fairy tale for adults is set in a pseudo-medieval post-apocalyptic world reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's style. It shines with the inner radiance of good deed in a world that is both haunting and riveting.
