E. and the Middle East is rife with tumultuous tension once again as the Syrians, Philistines and other vassals and subjugates clamor to break free from the subjugation of the United Monarchy of Israel and Judah as the revered King David lay on his death-bed. In this historical tale of seduction and sedition, politics and conspiracies, a young Crown Prince rises to be a King with a sworn fealty of “no bloodshed” on the journey of establishing his reign and routing an avowed enemy. But this painstaking journey of “no bloodshed” becomes complicated when… “Love [becomes] strong as death, and jealously as cruel as grave” As a vibrant and enchanting girl joins the fray—a country girl whose constant love for her lowly shepherd boy lover seem resistant to royal pomp and endearment.
