Mesopotamia, 2005 B.C. Before Abraham, he was. Before Gideon, he judged. After the Flood ravaged the Earth, when humans fought to rebuild a world destroyed by waters roaring from the sky, when evil sought to regain its foothold in the hearts of the people, he came. History did not know him and ancient texts would not record his deeds, but his Ballad hung on the trembling lips of all who whispered his name. Embittered by years of battle and loss, he found his life wanting. Until the scream. A woman's scream that set him on a path to incredible love and unimaginable glory. This is the Ballad of Tul'ran the Sword and the saga of Erianne of Kabolon, an intrepid woman whose courage and buried faith took a warrior from the depths of his torment to a new life.

A small number of scenes in this novel take place during savage historical times when violence, especially sexual violence against women, was commonplace. These scenes may trigger an emotional response. Reader discretion is advised.
