A heroic fantasy chronicling events in an imaginary kingdom of the Middle East, culminating in the visit of the wise men to Bethlehem. “A highly imaginative novel of an antediluvian civilization, an unknown people versed in sorceries long-forgotten. Certainly among the forerunners of today’s sword and sorcery epics.”
