Two men, decades apart, traverse the same land in search of fabled treasure in this haunting conclusion to Lavie Tidhar's epic Maror Trilogy.
But as the land changes and war erupts, the fate of both men leads them unerringly towards a place of skulls. Bandits and poets, dreamers and killers bar their way as Golgotha shifts from the peaceful backwater of Ottoman Palestine to the frantic final week of the British withdrawal from the Holy Land, in an extraordinary slice of a history of violence.
