A thundering epic set in the apocalyptic days of Noahs Ark. When rising waters chase Re Jana's family from their home in the marshes, they flee to the desert, following the trail of animals and people who have gone before them. There, in the dry centre of the desert, rises the frame of a boat of unprecedented proportions. What is it doing there? And what can explain the city of industry that has grown up around it? The rumour of the flood to come is too terrible to be true and, like most, Re Jana does not believe it. How could a god - anyone's god - determine who deserves to live and who to die? Even as she falls in love with the Builder's son, Ham, and panic spreads in the gathered tribes, Re Jana questions all that she hears, and believes her family will be saved. Even as the deluge begins and the doors to the ark are scaled... Anne Provoost spins a literary page-turner and a love story that builds in power from page to page like a gathering storm.
