Meet through the pages of the book the young girl who, tightly holding the image of the Virgin Mary, runs to the Lycos River to escape from the Turks who have surrounded her.

Encounter the Pontic rebels Alexandros and Nikitas, who decide not only to escape from the amele tabur but also to liberate over a hundred women and children from the Turkish camp with the help of the Metropolitan of Trabzon, Chrysanthos.

Experience the thrilling duel of the Pontic rebel with the giant Turkish wrestler Janavar, the mysterious woman from Ardasos aboard the ship on her refugee journey, and the miraculous calm after the storm.

And other unknown or lesser-known stories from the lives of our ancestors in the martyred Pontus, those who, instead of compromise, submission, and prostration, chose the fiery path of duty and sacrifice.
