UNDYING QUEEN BOOK TWO - The World Without Arkhalla
Arkhalla. She was the most powerful woman on earth. A cruel, 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. And now she is dead. In the wake of the almighty queen’s death, 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 both loved the dead queen and caused her doom, now finds his destiny as the humans of Sumer rise at last against the Undying. The second chapter of the trilogy begun in The Undying Queen of Ur crafts an epic tale of war, intrigue and a tangled skein of characters in a world forever haunted by the one who gave meaning to all their lives. A World Without Arkhalla.
