Situated in the interimperial turmoil of the Late Bronze Age  Canaad (Kay-nay-ahd) follows this heroines journey as it dovetails with that of Aqhat  a refugee from the Levantine coast. After tragedy casts Aqhat into the desert  a prophecy affords him the opportunity to slay three deities before the years end and thereby become divine himself. Determined to right the wrongs of those responsible for his communitys suffering  he and his companions join forces with Laeya  setting out to permanently revolutionize how mortals and gods interrelate--with consequences that even the gods cannot fathom. At once a speculative and historically attuned study of religion  Canaad brings the Ancient Near East to life in tangible and dramatic form  weaving together largely unknown histories and numerous fragmentary myths from a Canaanite perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67868537520181,"sku":"ByrdShop_1666760048","price":62.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781666760040.jpg?v=1793548511","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/canaad-9781666760040","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
