Seven Times I Bow: A Tale of Submission and Rebellion in Ancient Canaan (Kings of Canaan)

Like a phoenix born forth from the ashes of its fathers, the relentless cycle of war and oppression rages through the Egyptian occupied land of Canaan. Are the leaders of the world doomed to partake in war, the sin of their fathers? Or is there another way, can they set aside their differences to build a world less marred by the evils humanity visits upon itself?

In this bold historical epic, Kohan Killetz explores the nature of war in its graphic, cerebral, sensuous and gratuitous dimensions. Though deeply rooted in the history and culture of the period, it could be a tale set in any time in history. The Canaanite people, oppressed by the Pharaoh struggle to break free of the Egyptian yoke under the charismatic warlord Lab'ayu. Fearful of the chaos of collapse, the Pharaoh, Amenhotep III, struggles to hold onto power; and against his own pending mortality, all the while, his wife, Queen Tiye, pulls the strings. Milkilu, the Pimp King of Gezer and his brothers Yapahu and Addadanu struggle to survive and protect their loved ones in a time rent asunder by the violence of their fellows. And from the north, the warrior princess Shisita, called "The Lady of the Lions" threatens to unleash the Syrian army upon Canaan. Who shall rule in the flames of war, the ashes of peace?
