About this audiobook
WHAT IS THE POINT OF KNOWING IF NOBODY WILL LISTEN?
Ancient Sumer, 3800 BC. Indentured and forced into prostitution to survive, a reluctant seer known only as Girl, finds herself experiencing cataclysmic visions. Kaylem, most junior scribe of the Temple and her one, true friend, realises Girl is the mouthpiece of the gods and is the only one to believe her. Somehow, Girl and Kaylem must convince the corrupt priestcraft of Ur to heed Girl’s message from the gods and bring her warning to the people. Otherwise, what is the point of knowing if nobody will listen?
