Official synopsis Publisher
True horror is the knowledge that fate has turned against you.
A monster is approaching the Bronze Age city of Yarich.
It cannot be stopped. It cannot be turned aside.
And the monster is…God Himself.
Sakal, caravan-master to the “Melek” or king of the Canaanite city-state, recounts the tale of the increasingly desperate battle for survival waged by his people against fanatical outsiders – nomads from the desert wielding a terrible supernatural power. As an incomprehensible cosmic force approaches, the city dwellers slowly lose all that they have loved – including, finally, their humanity.
A twist in point of view transforms the Old Testament tale of the fall of Jericho into Lovecraftian horror.
