More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Babylon's fall, this historical fiction explores the nuanced narratives surrounding the city's capture, contrasting the biblical account with insights from ancient record tablets. The author delves into the political motivations behind the "Chronicle Tablets," which aimed to portray a narrative of voluntary surrender to Cyrus, while suggesting that betrayal among the priests likely played a crucial role in the city's demise. This examination offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in history.
