Belshazzar
Buy the book from:
Ramose, an Egyptian noble, becomes entangled with the court of Babylon, the fate of a royal woman and the unstable rule associated with Belshazzar. Intrigue, jealousy and prophetic warning unfold while Persian power gathers outside the city.
Haggard’s posthumously published final novel combines the biblical image of Belshazzar’s feast with the historical conquest of Babylon by Cyrus. Court ceremony and romantic adventure lead toward the collapse of the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 539 BCE.
