The kingdoms of Canaan are crumbling under a brutally relentless invasion. Now the last surviving Canaanite king has sent out a call for mercenaries to defend his capital, and where there's money to be made by spilling blood, Barra the Pict, gigantic Leucas of Athens and wily Kheperus, master of Egyptian magics, are sure to follow.

Especially this city, built high upon an escarpment, with walls that dwarf those of fallen Jericho. And the invaders are only barbarians, after all, more a horde than an army. Easy money.

Or it would be... but the city is Jerusalem, and the invaders are the Israelites under the command of the invincible Joshua ben Nun, and the gods of Canaan have chosen Barra for their champion.

Angels, gods, blackest sorcery and shining courage take the field in one final battle for the fate of Canaan.

Winner take all.
