Ninshubar
"A god is nothing without a good story."

It has been six months since the fall of the great cities of Ancient Sumer. Six months since war and chaos scattered everyone to the wind.

Ereshkigal, the queen of the underworld, finds herself trapped in the rubble of her realm with only one thought: to rescue the man she loves.

In the realm of light, Harga and Marduk mount a hopeless resistance against the vast Akkadian forces, whilst Gilgamesh, once king of Uruk, travels to Egypt in search of a legend that could save them.

High above them all, in the kingdom of Heaven, a goddess with no memory lies imprisoned and helpless whilst a faint voice on the wind whispers a name . . . Inanna.

And, wandering between the realms, a lost and lonely spirit named Ninshubar desperately tries to find her lost mistress.

But as their search for one another begins to draw them closer, Tiamat, the many-headed dragon-queen of Heaven, is preparing for an assault on the realm of light that could crush all life on Earth.
