About this audiobook
It is a lightless world. The sun goddess, Atthar, has long-since been deposed, her light stripped from her by a tyrant and held aloft above his dying city. Eking out a meager existence there is Nasir and his ailing mother, Atthar’s former high priestess, who hold secret ceremonies and face routine beatings from the city guards. Nasir prays when his mother asks, but his faith is dead.
Until the goddess calls out to him from the dark, very much alive—and ready to strike.
A tale of a mother’s love and a son’s devotion, of a goddess’ wrath and mankind’s arrogance, Stolen Sun is a Mesopotamian fantasy novella just over 2 hours long.

Reviews for Stolen Sun

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an amazing book - with great narration, too! Literally the only complaint I have is that the author used “rustic” during the protagonist’s inner thoughts. (I think the smell in his home? I’m almost certain that’s it). He wouldn’t have known the word or what it meant, and it jolted me out of the story. I haven’t ever read anything else set in Mesopotamia before, so thank you!
