Description

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents a second earth-shattering adventure based on Mesopotamian mythology by Sarwat Chadda, author of City of the Plague God. In this action-packed tale, Sikander Aziz vacations in London and discovers the mythic tablet of destinies. Using the tablet, Sik revives his brother Mo, but faces grave consequences. The tablet gets stolen by the elder god Lugal, who releases Tiamat, the chaos dragon and mother of monsters. As a Muslim boy, Sik confronts the ancient gods of Mesopotamia in a high-stakes battle to save the world. This thrilling narrative addresses cultural artifact theft, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, and is anchored by deep emotional connections and humanity.
