Lords of Babylon

Melcazar El Sharif is High Priest of Marduk, Babylon's patron God. Charismatic, beloved by those who see him as an incarnation of the God himself, Melcazar has learned to use his striking appearance to his advantage. He is the Guardian of Babylon, but he holds a secret not all know, and it could well cost him all.
When his life is threatened, and a beloved servant is killed, Melcazar must appeal to Mehen Pet Tha, a fearsome agent of Justice who represents the Synod; an organization that oversees law within all the Temples. Mehen, the son of a humble stonecutter, is yet a powerful High Priest in his own right of the dark God, Set. Intrigued by Melcazar's written plea, he takes the case.
Arriving in Babylon, Mehen finds himself drawn to the city's wonders, seduced by her magick. Meeting Melcazar, he finds himself compelled by the High Priest, whose beauty matches that of the city he represents; yet, he is surprised to find Melcazar has another side as a fearsome warrior.
Mehen falls under the spell of Babylon but soon realizes that she has secrets of her own. Danger surrounds him, his one bright spot is the love of Nepthys a young priestess; yet she is haunted by sadness. As Mehen draws closer to a wedding with her, events come to pass that reveal to Mehen his true destiny and change the path of himself and Melcazar forever.
