Publisher's summary

It is a lightless world. The sun goddess, Atthar, has long-since been deposed, her light stripped from her by a tyrant and held aloft above his dying city. Eking out a meager existence there is Nasir and his ailing mother, Atthar’s former high priestess, who hold secret ceremonies and face routine beatings from the city guards. Nasir prays when his mother asks, but his faith is dead.

Until the goddess calls out to him from the dark, very much alive — and ready to strike.

A tale of a mother’s love and a son’s devotion, of a goddess’ wrath and mankind’s arrogance, Stolen Sun is a Mesopotamian fantasy novella just under 20,000 words.

A nice journey through Mesopotamian folklore

I think of Stolen Sun as somewhat of a parable, a cautionary tale of hubris and greed and what measures those in power will take to procure and keep it. It's not a political tale. It's not a mythical tale. It's not a coming of age story. It's a little of all of those things and more. If the thought of using a credit on a novella is hard to swallow, then I recommend just buying instead. If you like fantasy but are bored with run-of-the-mill staples of the fantasy genre, I think you'll find this story appealing.
