About this audiobook
A crown won in blood. A kingdom forged in shadows.
David is finally King. From the ancient stones of Hebron to the unconquered fortress of Jerusalem, his rise seems unstoppable. He has united the tribes, secured the throne, and shown mercy to the remnants of Saul’s broken line.
But the heaviest weight a king bears is not his armor—it is his own desires.
When a single spring evening on a palace roof leads to an unforgivable betrayal, the foundations of David’s house begin to fracture. A prophet’s searing parable marks the beginning of the reckoning. Soon, the sins of the father are visited upon the children: a princess dishonored, a brother consumed by vengeance, and a favored son weaving a brilliant, deadly conspiracy in the dark.
As the sword enters his own house, David must face his ultimate enemy: his own blood. Will the king who conquered nations survive the rebellion from within?
