Hana was a Syrian kingdom located in the Middle Euphrates region north of Mari, which included the ancient city of Terqa. Hana is known only from a few dozen texts, but those texts are dated to the reigns of between nineteen and twenty-one kings. There is no king-list that includes the kings of Hana and the kingdom almost never is mentioned in documents from other cities and kingdoms. Nevertheless, Hana seems to have been one of the few kingdoms that thrived in the sixteenth century B.C.E., an era that is poorly understood. In this volume Dr. Prodany demonstrates how the kings of Hana can be placed in sequence and assigned approximate dates, based on typologies of the main features of a group of texts that make up the majority of the corpus - contracts for the purchase, bequest, and inheritance of real estate.

Widowed young, Hana craves safety more than love. She’s disinterested in her mysterious new admirer, yet he seems undaunted. Until an unexpected threat throws her straight at his feet. Hana's safe world consists of working at the local high school and attending church on the weekends. But a series of surprising attacks exposes her vulnerability. She's already isolated and in danger when a bungled hit-and-run casts her at the feet of the handsome new English teacher. Logan has loved Hana since her eighteenth year. The strong, quiet man has already wasted two decades searching for the beautiful redhead he saw sobbing on a London train. A wall guards Hana’s heart against the sadness shrouding that chance meeting. She does not remember him. Logan’s dubious past equips him to save Hana from the criminals hounding her.
