In desperation, his parents banish Sargon, sending him to their warrior allies from the steppes to learn honor or die. But even as he dreams of taking power from his parents, Sargon encounters Tashanella, the beautiful and gifted daughter of the clan's chief. She shows Sargon a different path. Suddenly thrust into battle, Sargon discovers that he must learn the way of the warrior not only to survive, but to save Tashanella's life, and the city of Akkad.Meanwhile, the mighty Elamite Empire, the near mythical land beyond the mountains, has cast its eyes on the riches of Akkad. They intend to invade and conquer the Land Between the Rivers.Eskkar and Trella must find a way to defeat this vastly superior force led by experienced conquerors. Eskkar's battle skills will be tested, and Sargon becomes the reluctant warrior who holds the key to Akkad's salvation and his parents' survival.

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Sam Barone graduated from Manhattan College with a BS degree. After a hitch in the Marine Corps, he entered the world of technology. In 1999, after thirty years developing software in management, Sam retired from Western Union International, as VP of International Systems. He moved to Scottsdale Arizona, to take up his second career as a writer. Seven years later, the author's first Eskkar story, Dawn of Empire, was published in the USA and UK. It has since been released worldwide. Sam's sixth book in the Eskkar saga, Clash of Empires, will be published in spring 2013. History and reading have always been two of Sam's favorite interests, and considers himself more of a storyteller than a writer. "I write stories that I would enjoy reading, and it's a true blessing that others have found these tales interesting, informative, and entertaining." Sam and his wife Linda, and their two cats (Minga and Norton) enjoy life in beautiful Prescott Arizona. Sam's Award-winning books have been published in nine languages and he has over 180,000 readers. He receives correspondence from all over the world.
