About this ebook

Mysterious symbols written in the blood of murder victims, a respected government official no longer in possession of his own will, a High Priest clever enough to work the political system and ruthless enough to dispatch anyone who gets in its way.

The list of challenges facing Namzu, High Priest of Eridu, is as long as it is daunting. Skilled in the dual arts of investigation and judicial enforcement, Namzu must navigate an ancient world of superstition, myth, and intrigue; a world in which demigods from Atlantis walk among mere mortals; a world inhabited by loyal servants, simple fishermen, mythological cannibals, and unparalleled evil.

Unbeknownst to him, the dark hand of vile corruption has swiftly taken hold and ready to unleash unspeakable evil upon what was previously the peaceful, well-ordered city-state of Eridu in ancient Mesopotamia. With the help of a mystical people known as the Anunnaki and one loyal house servant, Namzu will need every arrow in his investigative quiver to track down and stop the power behind the murders before it’s too late.

A fantasy world built on mythology and the oral tradition of the ancients that will immerse you deeply in stories that are unforgettable!

This mystery/thriller ended up as one of the most surprising and unexpected reads I have enjoyed in years. I went into this book thinking I would be living a fairly standard murder mystery set in an ancient world and turned the last page disappointed that there wasn’t more. I hope and expect Ravek Hunter to continue this book in a series and I will be quick to scarf them up

This book was awesome. Especially the use of the Enochian language that was spoken by – sorry no spoiler! The story is based in Mesopotamia in a civilization that predated Sumer. How awesome! Ravek Hunter made the story, the culture, the ambiance really connects like I was almost there. This is a story written beautifully with a ton of research behind it to get so many subtle details correct. I’m a history professor and endorse this book 100%.

Spooky, paranormal mystery based in modern day Iraq over ten thousand years ago. Loots of action and suspense blended with humor and vibrant world building. Loved it!
