Book 1 | Mightiest of Men Trilogy
After a perilous raid to secure the bride price for Shauwl, Davi and his company of mighty men return to a hero’s welcome, the cheers of Yisra`el heralding the ascent of their champion to royalty.
But for Josheb, ominous and recurring visions cloud the air of celebration. Why would Yah, the Almighty, call him to be Davi’s shield? What unseen threat shadows the most beloved man in Yisra`el, warranting protection?
In the unfolding drama of betrayal, loyalty, and divine appointment, Josheb must navigate the treacherous path laid before him to shield the true anointed king of Yisra’el from enemies both seen and unseen. For lurking in the shadows are not just one, but two adversaries—one thirsting for Davi’s throne, the other hungering for his very soul.
