Uprising
by Dan Cross

She predicted the eclipse over Failaka. She climbed the temple ladder from astronomer to High Priestess. She helped turn Babylon from a dilapidated city into a mesmerising metropolis, a diverse city of tolerance and love. She prophesies that the gods hate war as a total solar eclipse bathes a battle between Media and Lydia in darkness. Emuqtu, High Priestess of Ishtar, reaches for the sky, demanding her rightful reward from King Nebuchadnezzar. Will she get it?
