'Sword of Ages is a novel set amongst the ancient civilizations in the dim world of proto-history, and in a time when fact and magic blurred into an indistinct religion. From the burning wastes of the Arabian desert Yusuf, the six-fingered little orphan boy, is catapulted headlong into trauma and the new life the gods destined for him. Educated in the arcane sciences by his kindly mentor he inherits the Sword of Ages, only to discover the terrible burdens that duty and love can bring. Finding purpose in his search for the fabled Hall of Records and for the love of his life, he travels amongst the bloodshed and beauty of the ancient world as a warrior-prophet in search of his destiny.'
