This novel is a work of historical fiction rooted in archaeological research, ancient languages, and the cultural complexity of the ancient Near East. While inspired by biblical texts, it does not aim to retell them exactly. Daniyyel is portrayed here as a court advisor during a specific moment in time, and his prophetic role is not emphasized in this story since his prophetic activity took place before this period, as this story takes place in 539 BC. This is not meant to diminish his spiritual significance, but to explore how wisdom, faith, and diplomacy intersect in a world on the edge of change.


Babylon is often remembered as a symbol of pride and downfall. But in truth, it was a city of scholars, priests, and poets – a place where gods and ideas mingled. In this story, it is not Babylon that threatens the world, but the fear of losing it.
