Description

---

Before Abraham, he was. Before Gideon, he judged. After the Flood ravaged the Earth, when humans fought to rebuild a world destroyed by waters roaring from the sky, when evil sought to regain its foothold in the hearts of the people, he came. History did not know him and ancient texts would not record his deeds, but his Ballad hung on the trembling lips of all who whispered his name. Embittered by years of battle and loss, he found his life wanting. Until the scream. A woman's scream that set him on a path to incredible love and unimaginable glory. This is the Ballad of Tul'ran the Sword and the saga of Erianne of Kabolon, an intrepid woman whose courage and buried faith took a warrior from the depths of his torment to a new life. As they journey through the deserts and cities of ancient Mesopotamia, their enemies hunt them relentlessly. The words "the night is long and our journey is far" open the pain of their hearts and draw them ever closer to the true essence of their souls.

Ride with them through sandy dunes, fight with them under a blistering sun, and fall in love...
