Martyrs: Prodigal Paperback – February 14, 2026

In the year 2060, Christianity officially becomes illegal in the United State of America. Those who practice the religion are forced to register, identify themselves with the mark of the Christian fish, and submit to a life of silence or face the consequences. However, most Christians won’t go so quietly. Many, including the Eleane family, resist until they are forced into underground and secret Christian communities where they hide and pray for deliverance.Their deliverance comes in an unexpected package: Ezekiel Linn. At the height of Christian persecution in America, Ezekiel abandons the faith his parents raised him in and joins President Mankenery’s special force, tasked with rounding up Christians for imprisonment and execution. After the loss of his younger brother, Ezekiel’s belief and faith in God withered, forcing him to make a choice. Years later, he begins to question if the choice he made was the right one, if abandoning God, his faith, and his fiance, Snow Eleane, was the best option. During one of his moments of questioning, Ezekiel is faced with the option of redemption.

He also hopes to find forgiveness and a rekindled relationship with Snow along the way, if they can all survive. Read more
