Relentlessly, King Melim-anna of Uruk insists on the right of the first bridal night, regardless of the growing frustration of his people or the advice of his confidants. To escape their cruelty, Dumu-ugen decides to kill himself – but the goddess of creation Namma thwarts her plan and hides the bride-to-be in the middle of the Salt Sea. When the king mysteriously disappears during the voyage there, the hymn poet Meshursang finally sets out to search for the missing people. But he had neither reckoned with the sea monster that guards the maiden, nor the boundless jealousy of the goddess of love Inanna. Not to mention Dumu-ugen himself.
