Description
The wolves at court are circling, and they can smell blood...
Babylon in 1765BCE is a dangerous place, though Bani at least gets to live in a palace. His father is king, his mother a favoured concubine and rival of the queen. When his mother's people invade, however, everything changes.
Bani's father marches out at the head of his outnumbered forces, in a desperate attempt to save his kingdom. Back in Babylon, with their protector gone, Bani and his mother are plunged into a death struggle of their own...
Amidst the echoes of clashing swords and the whispers of betrayal, Bani's journey unfolds—an odyssey of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her son.

Thank you NetGalley for this eCopy to review
A great historical read on a period of history I don't know much about. Set in Babylon (Modern Baghdad) in 1765BC it follows Bani and his mother as they race to stay alive. The characters and setting are well described and the pace flows well full of action and intrigue!
I can't wait to find out what happens next

A captivating historical fiction novel set in the tumultuous backdrop of ancient Babylon. The story revolves around Bani, the son of a king and a favored concubine, whose life takes a dramatic turn when their kingdom is invaded. The author skillfully immerses readers in the treacherous world of court politics, betrayal, and the indomitable spirit of a mother-son relationship. The book is a gripping tale of courage and sacrifice, where the reader can almost hear the clash of swords and feel the tension of the characters' struggles.

An absolute gem of a historical adventure! From the very first page, I was hooked into the mesmerizing world of ancient Babylon. This book isn't just about history; it's about the pulse-pounding journey of Bani and his mother, a bond that's as unbreakable as it is inspiring.
With every turn of the page, I was transported to a world of clashing swords and heart-pounding moments, and I couldn't help but root for Bani and his mother as they faced insurmountable odds. Pugsley's storytelling is so vivid and relatable that you'll feel like you're right there with the characters, sharing in their triumphs and heartaches.
