Book excerpt: In the 14th century BC, the Hittite Empire reigned supreme, with Suppiluliumas at its helm. This saga, "I, the Sun," draws from ancient texts like the Amarna letters and court records, bringing to life the story of a king whose influence was felt from Hatti to the Egyptian court. Suppiluliumas, revered as the Favorite of the Storm God, was a formidable force in politics and war, commanding respect across the Mediterranean. Despite his conquests, his heart belonged to the Great Queen Khinti, a love denied by fate. This narrative, an epic autobiography of a ruler who shaped history, revives the legacy of those who lived, loved, and died in an era that laid the foundations of civilization. "I, the Sun" is not just a recounting of kingship and greatness but also a testament to the enduring power of love and the complexities of the human spirit.
