    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if prophecy didn’t stay in the clouds but walked a market lane at dawn—brushing spice dust from its sleeves, bargaining for figs, and telling the truth where children could overhear it? Embers & Water: The Prophet’s Call is that story: a fantasy-inflected, historically grounded novel inspired by the book of Isaiah—where the word of God doesn’t thunder from a safe distance but lands on streets, kitchens, and palace steps until people have to decide what to do next. 
    Your guide is Asahel ben Jeduthun, a temple singer and scribe with quick hands, a careful eye, and no taste for heroics. Through Asahel’s single, steady point of view, you’ll meet Isaiah son of Amoz—not as a statue or slogan, but as a man whose sentences interrupt parties, steady kings, and lift widows. Around them a city comes into focus: Miriam, who kneads bread and courage with the same hands; Eliab, a fig seller learning to love honest weights; Shira, a merchant’s daughter trading spectacle for substance; Reuben, a guard unlearning noisy strength; and Shebna, a climber whose carved ambitions can’t keep his name from shrinking. 
    This is fiction inspired by Scripture, not commentary disguised as a novel. Where the text speaks, the story follows; where the text is silent, the story supplies human detail that honors its direction. Expect a narrative with momentum—not oracle after oracle, but a clear arc: 
    A vineyard song freezes laughter in a noble’s courtyard. 
    A king at the aqueduct hears a sign he does not want. 
    A bonfire of household gods crackles in the square. 
    The Assyrian herald’s mockery under the wall meets a city’s disciplined silence. 
    Deliverance comes in a night without arrows. 
    A sundial walks backward because mercy says so. 
    A long season of comfort teaches a people to keep Sabbath, prove their scales, forgive debts, and welcome strangers. 
    And through it all, the shadow of a Servant appears—gentle, burden-bearing, strong enough to heal without spectacle.
