A Novel of 2000 BC
From the best-selling author of the Sharpe series, the story of a blood rivalry four millennia ago which led to the creation of Britain's greatest historic monuments Stonehenge…
When a stranger carrying a fortune in gold arrives in the settlement of Ratharryn, it seems like a gift from the gods, but the three sons of Ratharryn's chief each perceive the gift in a different way. The eldest, a warrior, harnesses his murderous ambition to be a ruler. The second son, an outcast, becomes a great visionary, and it is his vision that forces the youngest brother, Saban, to create the great temple where the gods will appear on earth.
Saban is the builder, and it is his love for two women, one a sorceress, the other the sun bride whose destiny is to die for the gods, that finally brings the rivalries of the brothers to a head, and, in the end, when the awe inspiring temple is complete, Saban is forced to choose between the gods and his family.
