The ancient epic of Gilgamesh inspires an ambitious Sumerian lad to become a friend to the king himself.
Vanity will lead him to the pinnacle of power. Now his fate is in the hands of the godlike king of Sumer and Akkad Shulgi-Sin and the demon of fate and death Namtar. Even the gods have no control over Namtar.
The information about the ancient Sumerians is primarily academic in nature. It is usually intended for a narrow circle of specialists. The author’s idea was to transform that information into something more understandable and make it accessible to a wide range of readers.
Without pretending to have absolute scientific and academic accuracy, using artistic fiction, the novel is based on historical realities and facts. An immaculate combination of science, creativity and art. The reader will feel the atmosphere and get immersed into the world of the long-vanished Sumerian civilization.
The characters revived in the novel possess similar characteristics and behavior to modern people, but possible coincidences are incidental.
When reading the novel, the reader will draw parallels between the Sumerian society and our own civilization. Perhaps some things have changed since then, perhaps others haven’t, by comparing the two realities the reader will most likely realize how much truth there is to the saying “There is nothing new under the sun”.
Intended for an 18+ age group; for individuals who have a liking for historical fiction; for people with a soft spot for romantic stories with an unexpected plot twist; for lovers of stories about the royal court’s life and palace intrigues.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org. Alli's "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies is an invaluable resource.

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
