Description

Martyr! is a powerful and moving novel about a young man's search for meaning and connection. After a tragic accident, Cyrus's life is forever changed, and he embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets of his past.

Guided by the voices of artists, poets, and kings, Cyrus delves into the mysteries of his family's history, including his mother's mysterious death and his father's complicated life in America. Along the way, he discovers a painting that holds a surprising secret, leading him to a terminally ill painter living out her final days in the Brooklyn Museum.

This electrifying and original novel explores themes of faith, art, and the search for belonging. With its unique voice and compelling story, Martyr! is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally charged read.
