The Colors of Fire
Brown, Lawrence Diehl

of the Hittite Empire, leading up to the collapse of the Bronze-Age civilization.
Follow the adventures of the last Hittite prince on his journey to become King, his
fight to consolidate the empire and defeat the enemies who would plunder the
land and destroy the last vestiges of a great civilization. A compelling combination
of fictional narrative and scholarship, Brown combines his knowledge of ancient
peoples with historic battle tactics in a fast-paced, believable story of love, magic,
fire, and war. The Colors of Fire is the first novel in a trilogy that spans 3000 years.
Of Princes and Kings takes place in the 12th century, and Flare takes place in
modern times.
