The ancient city-walls were covered in sandstone, and the ziggurats were a symbol of power. In the center of the city was a massive temple dedicated to Ba'al, the god of fertility and war.

The ghostly Persian girl lay on a sandstone altar, her skin pale and thin, her ribs visible through her translucent skin. She was barely alive, but she had been brought back from death for this one purpose - to be used as a sacrifice to appease the gods.
