The Shattering of Babel (The Scrolls of Mezaliel, Band 2) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The flood is over. The world is rebuilding.

And Mezaliel is still watching.

For centuries he was bound and suspended between heaven and earth, chained in the silence that follows catastrophe. He has seen humanity rise from eight survivors into nations. He has watched them gather their ambitions on the plain of Shinar and reach, once again, for what was never theirs to take.

But when a visitor appears who has not come since the day of his binding, Mezaliel discovers that what he thought was punishment may have been preparation. And that what comes next may be harder than anything he has yet endured.

In a remote mountain refuge, a young scribe named Tastari is still writing. Still keeping vigil. Then a visitor arrives, wounded, hunted, carrying a name already passing into legend.

He says only that he was told, once, by a man who seemed to know too much: If there is ever a night when you have nowhere left to go there is a place.

The Shattering of Babel is the second movement of a testimony that spans the rise and fall of civilizations, and the slow, costly learning of one who has witnessed all of it.
