In The Dark Triumph of Daniel Sarkisyan, Daniel and his sister Mariam have been scrambling to survive the squalor of 1920 Yerevan. When Daniel finally lands a job with the rich and powerful Gagik, he feels lucky. But within days, Gagik proves to be selfish, violent and just plain mean. Within a week, Daniel is caught in a dangerous, downward spiral of deceit, corruption and treachery. Within months, and against his will, he’s embroiled in espionage and murder. Set against the deadly clash between the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Soviet Army, and the ill-fated optimism of the struggling new Republic of Armenia, Daniel races against time to protect his sister, uncover Gagik’s diabolical plot, and maintain his integrity in the face of overwhelming odds.
