Once
there was a great empire that dwelt between the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers:
the Empire of the Sumerians. One of the greatest cities of Sumer was Ur, near modern-day
Basra, Iraq. Sumer flourished in the Fertile Crescent some four millennia
ago. The Kings of Sumer ruled for more than a thousand years, and the
people between the rivers developed a lively,
intelligent culture that echoes down through the ages. Among the Sumerian
pantheon of gods and goddesses was Inanna, Goddess of Love – who became the prototype for the later Ishtar and
Isis, Artemis and Venus.
Seven Dreams of Inanna is a timeless love story in
the grand tradition. It is the tale of Klori, daughter of King Mesan, and her
lover, Kesh, heir to the usurped throne of Lagash. It is a tale of intrigue
and danger, of heroism and courage, of adversity and redemption – a story that
unwinds amid the sun baked brick buildings and colorful tapestries of ancient
Ur, where ziggurats rise to meet the cloudless sky and sharp daggers are forever
poised against the unwary. It is a story that takes place at the dawn of
recorded history; and yet, one that still resonates today. For it is a story
that is replayed each generation, and one that will continue for so long as love
endures.
