Namtar

The ancient epic of Gilgamesh inspires an ambitious Sumerian lad to become a friend to the king himself.
Vanity will lead him to the pinnacle of power. Now his fate is in the hands of the godlike king of Sumer and Akkad Shulgi-Sin and the demon of fate and death Namtar. Even the gods have no control over Namtar.

Synopsis

The information about the ancient Sumerians is primarily academic in nature. It is usually intended for a narrow circle of specialists. The author’s idea was to transform that information into something more understandable and make it accessible to a wide range of readers.
Without pretending to have absolute scientific and academic accuracy, using artistic fiction, the novel is based on historical realities and facts. An immaculate combination of science, creativity and art. The reader will feel the atmosphere and get immersed into the world of the long-vanished Sumerian civilization.

The characters revived in the novel possess similar characteristics and behavior to modern people, but possible coincidences are incidental.
When reading the novel, the reader will draw parallels between the Sumerian society and our own civilization. Perhaps some things have changed since then, perhaps others haven’t, by comparing the two realities the reader will most likely realize how much truth there is to the saying “There is nothing new under the sun”.

Sales arguments

  • You can read the translation of the first chapter as a sample of the book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15p8i9ey7Iz-b3qzQFmiC4AjEzWxO6WYU/view?usp=sharing
  • The Sumerian theme is mainly historical, but the novel can also be considered a romantic story.
  • The book already exists in Russian, and the author is now happy to finally present it to the English-speaking audience.
  • The novel is intended to be a part of a trilogy, and Namtar is only the first book in it.

Similar titles

  • Sumerians: A History From Beginning to End by Henry Freeman, self-published in 2016. The book shows the Sumerian history scientifically. Vlad's nove, on the other hand, details a story where the historical accuracy is sometimes overlooked in order to achieve a better artistic effect.
  • Kingdoms of Sumeria - a series by Amazon Prime. Its plot is completely historical. The Sumerian theme is unusual and has yet to be explored in cinematography. With a screenplay, it's possible to create a movie or a series based on Namtar.
  • Trade winds to Meluhha by Vasant Davé, RR Roy National Agency 2017. The author of the book unites historical facts with fiction and shows the Sumerian civilization from the perspective of a foreigner. Similarly to Vlad's book, his tale has a protagonist and a storyline. However, the protagonist in Namtar is a royal dignitary, which allows the reader to get a glimpse into the structure of the Sumerian society and lifestyle during the last sixty years before the end of the legendary civilization.

Audience

Intended for an 18+ age group; for individuals who have a liking for historical fiction; for people with a soft spot for romantic stories with an unexpected plot twist; for lovers of stories about the royal court’s life and palace intrigues.

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t know that it’s no longer necessary to work with a publisher—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and deduct more costs on the back end whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We provide all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher to turn your manuscript into a market-ready book—editing, cover design, interior layout, proofreading, eBook formatting, and more—at the traditional publisher level. Unlike a publisher, we’ll help you obtain print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name so that you earn, in most cases, several dollars more for every book sold instead of a measly “royalty.”

We’ll customize a package of services to suit your exact needs at affordable prices ranging from $4,000 to $10,000, depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity. And we’ll manage all the intricacies of book production, so you don’t have to. After this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org.

How can we serve you today?
