Gilgamesh is the mighty king of Uruk, a warrior of unmatched strength whose name inspires fear and awe. Yet even the greatest king can be challenged, and when the wild man Enkidu enters his life, rivalry becomes friendship and friendship becomes the beginning of an unforgettable adventure. Together they journey beyond the safety of the city, face the terrifying guardian Humbaba, defy the gods, and discover that glory always carries a price. When loss strikes, Gilgamesh is forced to confront an enemy no sword can defeat. Driven by grief and fear, he leaves Uruk behind and travels farther than any ordinary man would dare, through deadly wilderness, mountains of darkness, strange lands, and the Waters of Death. Along the way he meets gods, monsters, guardians, survivors, and wise figures who challenge everything he believes about strength, fame, life, and what it means to be remembered. First preserved in cuneiform on ancient clay tablets, one of the world's oldest heroic legends comes alive as a sweeping tale of friendship, danger, ambition, grief, and an impossible search beyond the edge of the known world. How far will the greatest king of Uruk go to discover whether even death can be defeated?
