Description
2350 B.C.
The Sumerians are slaves to the gods. Whoever controls the god’s message wields immense power to build cities and destroy them. For a century, the army of Lagash, the greatest fighting force of the ancient world and slaves to the god of war Ningirsu, have preyed on the cities of Sumer. Terror grips the garden of Eden.
But consciousness is dawning across the ancient world, and free thinkers are banding together to break the spell of the gods and the priests who rule in their name. To stop Lagash’s reign of terror, they must bring down the god of war. To free all mankind, they will have to overthrow the entire pantheon.
Silence of the Gods is an epic tale of historical fiction set in a tumultuous age when warring city-states struggled for supremacy within Sumer, the first civilization, while foreign powers strove to dominate it from without. This is the story of the first gods and the first heroes, and the epic struggle between those who would forge the first empire and those who would free all of civilization.
