Books with author William Muñoz

History has some remarkable mysteries but few are as perplexing as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The Babylonians deny by ommission that these Gardens even existed, and the scholarly arguments today that the gardens were really in the Assyrian city of Nineveh seems to boldly contradict the ancient historians from surrounding regions who describe these astonishing royal gardens in Babylon. But there is a possible explanation which resolves all the controversies and explains all the conflicting arguments. And this possible explanation centers around a young woman who has an innate potential for greatness within her, and that potential is unlocked when she is compelled to marry the new young King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar II. She allows this opportunity to nurture her magnificent spirit and heart, and thus she inspires the King to build for her the most incredible royal gardens in the history of human endeavor. But a flaw of her character, one she is powerless to alter, condemns her legacy to secrecy and compels the Babylonians to erase the memory of both her and the famous Garden built for her. A young adult novel for readers of all ages, if they can hold on to their sense of wonder and idealism. Book One of “The Garden of Amytis” trilogy.
