Arkhalla was the most powerful woman on earth. An Undying queen feasting on blood, she ruled a nation feared across the ancient lands of Sumer, her only weakness a still all-too-human heart.
In the second chapter of the trilogy begun in The Undying Queen of Ur, the Sumerian kingdoms are rocked by chaos as Bel, Arkhalla's lover-turned-betrayer, goes to war against the ambitious councilor Lord Sin, who is allied with Nimrod, the vengeance-seeking human king of Akkad.
Around them revolve characters both familiar and new, from Narama, the Undying Huntress of Men, to Nimrod's daughter Aisyah, reared to be the scourge of the Undying, while Shamath, the young slave who loved the Undying Queen, now finds his destiny as the humans of Sumer rise at last against the Undying.
