In a world where birth is everything, how does the orphaned child of nobody become king of an empire?
As cupbearer to the King of Kish, Ahbut has risen as far as someone like him could ever dream. He has friends, a king who calls him brother, and no longer worries about where his next meal will come from.
Life is perfect...until a pilgrimage to the ancient city of Uruk has him coming face to face with the woman who has the power to change his destiny - and a king with the power to destroy everything he loves.
As a famed seer and next in line to Inanna’s priestess, Tashlultum’s life is the epitome of privilege, at least from the outside. But years of keeping one of the realm's darkest secrets is starting to take its toll. And if she is not careful, she will learn the true cost of being favoured by the goddess of love and war.
Kingmaker is a historical romantasy set in ancient Mesopotamia around 2300 BCE. The first book in the Golden Kingdom series, Kingmaker ends on a cliffhanger.
