In the sun-baked city of Ur, every truth worth keeping is pressed into clay. Enki-Illu knows this better than most. As a temple scribe, he copies tax ledgers, royal records, and official lies with the careful hands of a man who has learned that conscience can be dangerous.Then he finds a shard of pottery marked with forbidden poetry.The words belong to Kudur, a date-palm worker with calloused hands, a sharp mind, and no lawful right to write at all. What begins as curiosity becomes fascination, then a bond neither man can safely name. In a city where literacy belongs to priests and kings, Kudur's private poems are more than scandalous. They are evidence.As temple authority tightens around them and the royal archives become a battleground for memory itself, Enki-Illu and Kudur must decide what is worth preserving: obedience, safety, truth, or the fragile, defiant language of love.Clay Tablets of Ur is an ancient-world MM historical romance set in Ur during the Third Dynasty, blending forbidden love, class difference, political danger, and the haunting question of whose words are allowed to survive.
