Sukhumi 1993 Gunpowder

By E. Kolkhi

"God is no longer here. There is only us and death."

Sukhumi, 1993. The "White City" is drowning in the acrid smoke of gunpowder and the echoes of a crumbling world. Ioane, a monk who sought peace within monastery walls, finds his vows shattered when the horrors of war reach his doorstep.

The cold beads of a rosary are replaced by the heavy steel of a Stechkin pistol. As the city of his childhood burns, Ioane must navigate a hellish landscape where the line between saint and sinner vanishes. From the blood-stained shoreline to a desperate, forbidden embrace in a hospital basement, he is torn between the monk he swore to be and the man-Tornike-who demands vengeance for his fallen kin.

In this gripping third installment of the Hermit series, E. Kolkhi delivers a raw, haunting portrayal of the Fall of Sukhumi. It is a story of faith under fire, the weight of a trigger pull, and the ghosts that follow us when the prayers fall silent.

Can a soul be saved in the heart of a massacre?
