The Prince of Eridu: A Novel of Ancient Sumeria

by Jesse Hudson

Overview

When the jealous High Priest of Enki murders the King during a holy festival and stages a takeover of the palace, the Crown Prince, Ammon-shur, must flee for his life with nothing more than the clothes on his back. His faithful bodyguard, Balashi, saves him from capture and death at the hands of his enemies, and together the two make their way to the ancient city of Uruk, home of the ancient and powerful temple of Inanna. Ammon goes to the temple to seek allies that he might recruit to his cause to unseat the High Priest of Enki and retake his throne. While at the temple he meets Iltani, the fascinating and beautiful High Priestess of Inanna. Ammon scarcely gets to know the High Priestess before discovering that she is enmeshed in her own struggles against the members of the temple council, who maintain her as a powerless figurehead. Far from finding aid for his own cause, Ammon finds himself promising to help Iltani free herself from the influence of the temple council as well as to help her investigate a darker plot...

About the Author

Biography
Jesse Hudson was sitting under a banyan tree meditating when he was suddenly struck by the idea of writing a series of books about a young prince in ancient Sumeria. The content of the entire series flowed immediately into his mind and all that was required of him was to type it all down.

Okay, so maybe it wasn't quite that easy. Jesse has had an interest in archaeology and history from the time he was very young, and he especially loved the timeless stories contained in ancient mythologies that still resonate across human cultures today.

Jesse has degrees in engineering, zoology and business and makes a living designing communications equipment at an engineering firm. He lives with his beautiful wife and three children in Lehi, Utah.
