Publisher's Synopsis
King Aikah knows he won't live long enough to fight the giant Mikana who threaten to overtake the kingdom of Seth. The queen and the palace priest urge Aikah to secure the throne for his adopted son Shammah, the expected heir. Aikah hesitates because he fears Shammah is too weak for war. Aikah favors the cunning Pasha, the living mirror of the king's youth and the son of his fiery concubine. As death and the Mikana draw near, the tormented Aikah holds the fate of Seth in his hands.
