What happens when the subject of your study begins to dismantle your own reality?

Mehmet is a doctoral student researching the life of the Islamic scholar Niyazi Mısrî. As he traces Mısrî's spiritual exile from Aspuzu to Lemnos, Mehmet begins to discover new meanings in his own life journey. However, this enlightenment comes at a cost; his relationships with his wife and son deteriorate, and the rigid academic framework of his thesis can no longer contain the limitless realm he has uncovered.

Written using a stream-of-consciousness technique, Phoenix explores the widening gap between profound spiritual meaning and mundane reality. Following his works on Ibn Arabi and Kharakani, Sadık Yalsızuçanlar now brings the story of Niyazi Mısrî to life, inviting readers to witness a transformation where the researcher becomes the searched.
