About this audiobook
Before Persia became an empire, it was just a sun-baked land full of goats with personality disorders, mountains taller than common sense, and nomads who could argue for three days straight about who made the best yogurt.
The place was called Anshan—technically part of Elam, technically part of nowhere important yet. To the north rose the Zagros Mountains, jagged teeth biting the sky.
