Ammon-shur and his Gutian allies are determined to rid the land of Canaan of the invading Mesopotamian armies once and for all, but Ammon's aspirations don't end there. He senses an opportunity to eliminate the threat from the shadowy conspiracy that has been dogging his steps for decades once and for all. With his usual flair for combining the divine with the mundane, Ammon takes advantage of his growing reputation to gather a mighty host to retake the cities of Sumeria from the followers of the dark god of chaos, but success brings its own set of challenges. Even as Ammon fights as never before to end tyranny across the lands of Sumeria, he finds it ever more difficult to maintain order and deal with dissidents in the lands that fall before his army. Taking advantage of the disorder, Ammon's enemies rally and raise a mighty army beneath the banner of a leader so powerful and terrifying that men whisper that he is not a man at all, but something far worse.
