Novels of Ancient Sumeria, Book Two

Exile has cost Prince Ammon his kingdom—but survival has not brought him peace.

Now married and living in obscurity, Ammon seeks stability far from the courts and temples that once shaped his fate. Yet the ancient world does not release its claims so easily. When forces tied to temple power and political ambition begin to close in once more, Ammon is drawn back into a struggle that threatens not only his life, but the fragile freedom of those he loves.

At the heart of the danger stands a priestess whose loyalty to truth places her at odds with both gods and men. As religious authority hardens into control and sacred duty becomes a tool of power, Ammon and the priestess must navigate a world where faith can no longer remain private—and where moral choices carry consequences beyond any single household or city.

Betrayal, coercion, and sacrifice press in from all sides as the cost of belief becomes unmistakably clear. What began as a quest to reclaim a throne now becomes something far more perilous: a confrontation with the structures of power that rule the ancient world itself.

The Prince and the Priestess continues Novels of Ancient Sumeria, a Christian historical fiction series set in the ancient Near East, exploring faith, authority, and moral responsibility amid the civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt.

The story continues in Book Three.
