Raising Lazarus is the story of one man's quest for redemption and the unlikely road he must travel to find that forgiveness.
Born in Kurdish Iraq at the very moment of the new millennium, Altin, blue-eyed and golden blonde, is immediately seen as one who was meant to fulfill an age-old prophecy. And to fulfill that prophecy, he is soon taken from his home and raised by the holy clerics in a manner they see fit.
But in fulfilling this destiny, deception and misunderstanding mark the boy's young life. And then, one day, when asked to prove his devotion by the senseless act of murdering an innocent man, his fate suddenly turns in an entirely different direction.
In this tale of mystery, intrigue and inner turmoil, that young boy, now a grown man, will be faced with challenges no one could have ever imagined. And though his life at times seems to be in the hands of others, his destiny is ultimately that which was bequeathed to him long before he was born.
