Like other young men of military age, Isho, son of Ramos, is naive. When the brutal Assyrians threaten his homeland, he hurries to meet them in battle. What he can’t know is that the enemy has obtained divine assistance. A powerful advantage, but at what cost?
After a crushing defeat, Isho flees into the wildlands far beyond the civilized world, where he encounters unearthly beings familiar with the workings of the gods. Together with a runaway named Safia, he discovers a terrifying secret: Assyria’s patron god has grown weary of humanity and intends to wipe out mankind forever.
To preserve mortal life as they know it, Isho and Safia must journey through the underworld, find allies among belligerent tribes, and unite nations in the face of unthinkable odds. Will they remain true to their cause, or lose themselves and each other in the mounting conflict?
