Nimrod

About this book

Welcome, servant. If you are reading these words, know that you are stepping over the threshold of an unforgettable kingdom — a kingdom born from the ashes of greatness and watered with the blood of might. This is no mere novel; it is a testimony written with the sword's edge and the depth of tragedy, lifting the curtain from the records of the earth's first giants: the king who ruled it and all upon it for four centuries. Imagine a world where the earth was his property, the peoples merely an army at his command, and the royal crown resembling a sacred curse no one dared touch but him. Who is this small boy, Ghassan, whom the destinies of hunting and adventure brought from a poor town to the palace of King Kanaan, the king of Assyria who speaks only the dialect of command and conquest? And what is the sentence that made the king bring him with his own hand? And was this childhood ascent to the throne mere coincidence, or a destined fate awaiting the password? In the heart of the town of Shinar, where splendid houses are built of mudbrick, an ambition lurks that knows no satiety — the ambition of a king who sees his house as the beginning of a tower reaching heaven. A historical epic of the first tyrant, the first empire, and the first defiance of heaven — the story of Nimrod as never told before.
