Book description
At the dawn of history, an epic war is about to begin in the deadly
quest for honour.
The city of Sumer, ruled by a brutal murderer and his vicious, power
hungry sister, is poised to give birth to the mightiest empire in
history. No one stands a chance as it brings a bloody war to all those
who stand in its way, determined to crush and enslave those on its borders.
The little city state of Akkad must prepare its fledgling nation to
fight for its very survival. Akkad's warriors are a loyal and
courageous brotherhood, but this is not a battle of villages or of
roving warrior bands; it is a battle for Empire and a fight to the death...
