Samuel C P Clarke

Samuel, the last of Israel's judges, is tasked with choosing the nation's first king, a king who decides to rule in his own strength rather than in God's. Samuel must find a replacement, but placing him on the throne will be no easy task. Anointed as King by the prophet, David must now prove himself worthy of the crown. Not an easy task when the current king is chasing him across the country trying to kill him. Fleeing to foreign lands and fighting for his enemy against his own people, David must find his way back into the hearts of the people and his God. Claiming the crown of his nation is only one task, maintaining it will bring him to the brink of losing everything: his kingdom, his family, his sanity. A story of constant battle, family treachery, struggles of leadership, and the personal demons that tear at the crown. Based on the Old Testament books of the Bible 1&2 Samuel, this is a novel written in the style of the POV series of books.
