Shadows Over Babylon
Some Kings Never die. They wait.
In the ruins of post-invasion Iraq, a U.S. Navy SEAL discovers an ancient copy of The Epic of Gilgamesh—a relic that pulls him into a shadow war older than empires. As artifacts vanish and whispers of a resurrected king spread, he uncovers a conspiracy stretching from Saddam’s fallen regime to the black-market underworld. But the truth is darker than myth: someone is gathering the fragments of Babylon’s lost power, and the line between history and fanaticism is crumbling.
From the dust of Baghdad to the buried tombs of Ashur, the SEAL and his Iraqi translator race to stop a force that doesn’t just want to rule—it wants to be worshipped. Because in a land where kings become gods, the past isn’t dead. It’s waiting.
A gripping blend of military thriller and ancient mystery, where the shadows of history rise to claim the present.
