The Kingdom of Women invites readers into the heart of ancient Mesopotamia, where between the Tigris and Euphrates lies Shurbir—a city unlike any other. For generations, no man has held the scepter here. Instead, High Priestesses chosen by divine oracle govern with a balance of wisdom, steel, and sacred oaths.

When Queen Dur-Inanna falls gravely ill, her chosen successor—Ninsara, a scholar of sacred rites—must rise to meet a destiny fraught with danger. Rival cities watch closely: allies bearing hidden daggers, marsh tribes guarding their reed-choked waterways, and the remnants of a fallen dynasty waiting for rebellion's spark. As palace corridors echo with whispers of poison and betrayal, Ninsara must weave fragile alliances, command armies at the city's gates, and hold together a kingdom on the brink.

Alongside her stand Darshiya, the fearless captain who defends Shurbir with unmatched skill; Layatu, a hidden princess whose rightful place could unite warring factions; and a secret heir whose bloodline may decide the city's fate. Across sixty-one sweeping chapters, their intertwined paths lead to the forging of the Blood Banner, battles at the bridges, and a new covenant that will redefine rulership.

Rich in political intrigue, cultural detail, and the timeless themes of loyalty, unity, and justice, The Kingdom of Women is more than a tale of war—it is a testament to the strength that comes when compassion and courage share the same hand. For readers who seek epic historical drama with powerful female leaders at its core, this novel delivers a world where every oath matters, every alliance counts, and the legacy of sisterhood can outlast empires.
