About this audiobook
The Shepherd
A boy is anointed in secret, and the secret becomes the longest war he will ever fight: not against giants or armies, but against the slow erosion of a king's mind, and his own patience. David tends sheep, plays harp for a tormented Saul, kills a giant with a stone, and watches love curdle into fear in the eyes of the man who once called him son. Friendship, marriage, and betrayal arrive before he turns twenty. A literary reimagining of David's youth, told in close, sensory prose, where the sacred is found in armor that doesn't fit and bread given to a stranger.
