Bookroo's summary

In ancient Babylon, the people offer food to a temple beast, believed to be divine. Daniel, a wise skeptic, challenges this belief, claiming the beast is merely a statue. His bold assertion angers the priests, who demand he prove his claim by dawn. With only one night, Daniel must uncover the truth or face dire consequences. Will he expose the deception, or will the priests' wrath prevail? The clock is ticking in this tale of faith, courage, and revelation.

From the publisher

In Babylon, the people feel the need to bring food for the mythical beast that lived in the temple. The wise Daniel says that the beast is just a statue and doesn’t need offerings. But this only serves to infuriate the priests, who give him one night to prove the truth of his claims.
