Ugarit: Tales of a Lost City - Hardcover

by Janet Tamaren (Author)

An epic of love, survival, and the fall of empires

In the shadow of a burning world, two souls must choose between the past they cherish and the future they fear.

Spring, 1190 BCE. On the glittering coast of the eastern Mediterranean, the city of Ugarit thrives-its markets vibrant, its libraries vast, its people unaware that the world they know is about to vanish.

Yoninah, a healer steeped in ancient wisdom, tends to the wounded and the grieving with herbs, charms, and quiet strength. When a battle-scarred Mycenaean soldier appears at her door, memories stir-and so does danger.

Thut-Moses, a scribe trained in Egypt, advises a king shaken by the collapse of cities once thought invincible. As invading forces creep ever closer, he must find the courage to guide a faltering kingdom through the storm.

Drawn from real archaeological discoveries and newly-translated clay tablets, UGARIT is a luminous and unforgettable journey into a vanished world, where the choices of a few may echo for eternity.

"A masterfully told tale-rich, riveting, and utterly transporting. I couldn't put it down."
