Through the millennia, countless cultures have been willing to sacrifice their children, their first-borns, to whatever god they worshipped.  Did the children become servants of the gods or were they merely sacrificed and passed into death.  This story explains what happened during the worship of Lamashtu.  This story is well-written, creative, and compelling, so if paranormal fantasy stories with blood-sucking demons is your thing, then be sure to read this amazing story.

Zaidu is the first of four captivating books that, together, create the Sparkle anthology.

Ancient customs in ancient times reveal a culture we cannot conceive of today. A child is a sacrificial offering. No volcanoes here, nothing like that. He lives on.

Every single word is as if this was copied from an ancient manuscript. Read Zaidu and, before you know it you’ll be at the end of book four. 

Time well spent for me. I needed some Sparkle.
