Longinus The Vampire: Babylon
Description
An exciting, terrifying, romantic horror adventure set in the opulent splendour of the Golden City of Babylon.
Strap on your sword, mount your horse, and smile grimly. High adventure, sensuous temptation, and death awaits you. The great game of gods, demons, and men has begun.
The Story.
The fate of the Kingdom of Babylonia hangs by a gossamer thread.
The ancient Babylonian gods are in a cataclysmic struggle with the Jewish god.
King Nebuchadnezzar has been cursed to become a beast, and murderous traitors surround Queen Amytis and her children.
Evil roams the streets at night, and pregnant women are dying from a mysterious illness.
Arwia, the young High Priestess of Marduk, prays for a saviour to deliver them from evil.
Ereshkigal, the noble Queen of the Underworld, hears her prayer and sends Namtar, her dragon messenger, to rescue Longinus from Asmodeus’ clutches in Hell and carry him back to ancient Babylon.
Ereshkigal reveals to Longinus that the terrifying demoness, Lamashtu, is intent on opening the seven gates of the underworld and letting the dead spew forth across the land. She asks him to become her champion and save the people of Babylon. Longinus, smitten by her beauty and the justness of her cause, agrees.
To restore order to the cosmos, he must confront Lilith, the Queen of the Night, and free Lamashtu’s horrifying, demon nemesis - Pazuzu, the Dark Angel of the Four Winds. However, he must first defeat Lamashtu’s servants, the powerful, vampire necromancers and sorcerers – the Blood Priests of Akkad.
Can Longinus; Arwia, the High Priestess; Bashaa, the dashing, young captain of the King’s Guard; Belteshazzar (Daniel), the wise man; and Queen Amytis save Babylon from destruction?
The answers are written in the stars, and only the gods can tell.
Armed with the Spear of Destiny, mounted on his Arabian stallion, Safanad, and accompanied by Urbarra, an old grey wolf, Longinus must ride forth into battle.
The omens are propitious for a Babylonian adventure of biblical proportions as Longinus fights desperately to complete his quest and save his friends.
This is a time for heroes - at the gate of the gods - in the Golden City of Babylon.
(Longinus The Vampire: Babylon is the third book in the Longinus The Vampire series. However, it can be read quite easily as a stand-alone novel.)
