Nezzar

King Nebuchadnezzar was a beast of war, ripping through nation after nation and carrying home spoils to great Babylon. He was unaware of two ruthless spiritual entities tasked with keeping his war-mongering in check as he goes about conquering the known world, neither did he contemplate gods from neighbouring territories and long-imprisoned enemies shaking awake and setting their gaze upon the principality of Babylon.

Amid spiritual tension among false gods, spirits, and angels, King Nebuchadnezzar prepares for battle against the kingdom of Media despite an arranged marriage treaty signed by his late father. But Princess Amytis of Media is determined to do anything to keep the beastly king from bringing war to her home. Will she succeed, and will Nebuchadnezzar survive the crossfire between gods, spirits, and angels?
