In Book I: The Breaking of the Cup, the story begins with the arrival of Scribe Ana in the royal city of Tanis, where he becomes witness to a prophetic unraveling of Egypt's spiritual and political order. The Hebrews are enslaved, but something is shifting beneath the surface. When a sacred cup shatters during a royal ceremony, it becomes a symbol-of coming judgment, broken allegiances, and divine intervention. This opening volume immerses readers in the world of ancient Egypt through the eyes of Ana, a thoughtful and morally torn narrator. Between Egyptian court intrigue and Hebrew suffering, a forbidden love begins to blossom between Ana and the mysterious Hebrew woman Merapi-called "Moon of Israel." Meanwhile, Pharaoh's daughter Userti seeks her own power, and whispers of a prophecy begin to circulate. Chapters I through IX build toward the first act of rebellion from heaven: the smiting of Amon. Gods will fall.

Truth will rise. And Ana must choose where he stands.
