Nimrod Poetry Contest

The novel unfolds an epic saga in a world ruled by light and shadow — but light is not always good, and shadow is not purely evil. Ancient forces clash for the right to reshape the world, where truth is tainted by betrayal, and nobility walks hand in hand with cruelty. Weapons are not mere tools of war — they are extensions of their bearers’ souls, echoing their past, their burdens, and a path not chosen, but forced upon them. Loyalty shifts. Justice is a fluid illusion. And power… in this world, it is no privilege — it is a curse. No one holds it without sacrificing a piece of their soul. This story weaves between philosophy and battle, between blood-soaked poetry and silent screams, where death is not the end… but the beginning of a truth that can only be told — in the language of shadows.

When a mysterious ancient scroll falls into the hands of Amara, a curious yet skeptical postgraduate student, she is thrust into a prophetic journey that transcends time. With each chapter of the scroll, Amara relives the reigns of ancient kings—Nimrod the empire builder, Pharaoh the hardened ruler, David the man after God's heart, and others whose choices shaped the spiritual and political destinies of nations. But these are more than historical tales. They are living patterns, spiritual blueprints that still govern the rise and fall of leaders today. As Amara uncovers how pride, power, obedience, and legacy formed the cores of these rulers’ hearts, she begins to confront the modern reflection of these patterns—in world leaders, in her generation, and even within herself. Blending biblical history, spiritual insight, and modern-day relevance, Thrones of Time explores the ancient struggles for power, the consequences of hardened hearts, and the eternal call to rule with wisdom and humility. Will Amara answer the scroll’s call to rise above the spirit of the age, or will she be consumed by the very patterns she's called to expose? This is not just a novel. It’s a prophetic mirror. A wake-up call. A crown of conviction.
