Zarek Ben Nadin by Sharron Lael

Forgiveness. A simple word, yet with the power to alter the course of history. Zarek ben Nadin's early years is wrought with much suffering, blood, and tears. Forced to witness his mother's death, endure his father's abuse, and survive the harsh landscape of Assyria; Zarek searches for redemption. Nineveh promises wealth, power, and escape from a vicious cycle of revenge and despair. However, unbeknownst to Zarek, he is heading down a path of self-destruction. When a strange god-like man is spat out upon the shore by a specially prepared sea creature with a message from the All-Knowing One, he knows time is running out. With only forty days left until Judgment Day, Zarek strives to face his sin-scarred past and his hopes for the future.
