une nouvelle enquête au cœur de l'Orient ancien... Noam cherche fougueusement celle qu'il aime, enlevée dans d'étranges conditions. Flanqué de son chien, il découvre un monde en pleine mutation, la Mésopotamie, autrement appelée le Pays des Eaux Douces, où les hommes viennent d'inventer les villes, l'écriture, l'astronomie.

Celui-ci, en recourant à l'esclavage, construit la plus haute tour jamais conçue qui constituera la porte du ciel et donnera accès aux Dieux. Ruses, manigances, chausse-trapes. Dans un chassé-croisé d'intrigues, Noam le guérisseur s'introduit dans tous les milieux et fait d'étonnantes rencontres : Maël l'enfant poète, le mystérieux Gawan appelé le Magicien, la reine Kubaba, étourdissante d'intelligence et d'espièglerie, Abraham, chef des nomades hébreux, lui refuse la nouvelle civilisation.
