Before the world knew cities, walls, or written laws, a group of outcasts dreamed of something greater. Uruk follows Ki, a brilliant young woman exiled for her strange inventions, and Ta, a thief cast out and maimed, as they join forces to build a new kind of tribe, one built on equality, compassion, and courage. But in a world ruled by warriors and superstition, their vision of community challenges everything the old order stands for.
Sweeping, bold, and deeply human, Uruk: A Novel of the First City reimagines the dawn of civilization through the eyes of those who dared to change it. Zwerneman blends heart-pounding adventure with timeless questions about progress, justice, and what it means to belong.
