Genre: Historical Fiction (Ancient)

An epic of love, survival, and the fall of empires

In the shadow of a burning world, two souls must choose between the past they cherish and the future they fear.

Spring, 1190 BCE. 

On the glittering coast of the eastern Mediterranean, the city of Ugarit thrives-its markets vibrant, its libraries vast, its people unaware that the world they know is about to vanish.

Yoninah, a healer steeped in ancient wisdom, tends to the wounded and the grieving with herbs, charms, and quiet strength. When a battle-scarred Mycenaean soldier appears at her door, memories stir-and so does danger.

Thut-Moses, a scribe trained in Egypt, advises a king shaken by the collapse of cities once thought invincible. As invading forces creep ever closer, he must find the courage to guide a faltering kingdom through the storm.

Drawn from real archaeological discoveries and newly-translated clay tablets, UGARIT is a luminous and unforgettable journey into a vanished world, where the choices of a few may echo for eternity.

She started writing this book about Ugarit during COVID lockdown. “This book is about another time and place where global trade networks came to a screeching halt, where a high-level civilization was threatened (and experienced) collapse. A time three thousand years ago: before the time of the Greeks and before the stories of the Hebrew Bible.”
