The Lion SlayerA Tale of Ancient Phoenicia
In the heart of the Bronze Age, a young Phoenician boy longs to prove himself to his father. He sets out to slay a man-eating lion on the White Mountain of ancient Phoenicia-and returns victorious to Gebal (Byblos), bearing the lion's hide. He earns not only his father's respect but a new name: Aleon-Tabah, the Lion Slayer. But his trials are far from over. Forced into an arranged marriage with a woman who despises him, Aleon-Tabah must navigate personal turmoil, the schemes of a corrupt high priest, and a deadly plague. Set in a brutal world of sacred prostitution, ritual human sacrifice, and stormy Mediterranean seas, his journey transforms him from an ambitious youth into the most feared pirate of the Bronze Age.
