The Bloody Cross by Mahdi Mirkiayi

Description

The Bloody Cross (Salib-e Khoonin) by Mahdi Mirkiayi is a gripping historical fiction novel for teens and young adults. It explores how European missionaries used religion as a tool for colonial expansion in Africa and India. Disguised as teachers and doctors, they spread false narratives, undermined local cultures, and paved the way for foreign domination. As part of the Colonial Chronicles series, the book vividly portrays the darker side of missionary work during the colonial era, blending fact with fiction to educate and engage readers.
