My Father, the King (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781737344759)

David's rise to the throne has transformed Israel into a regional superpower, but the famous shepherd-king is still searching for the missing remnant of Saul's house he promised to save Jonathan's son.

Thirteen-year-old Mephi only has a signet ring to remember the days his family ruled Israel. Crippled eight years ago while escaping his father's murderers, Mephi has learned fear and distrust under an abusive guardian who plans to profit from his royal blood.

After barely escaping death at the hands of raiders determined to wipe out Saul's descendants, Mephi escapes to the home of his grandfather's old physician. But King David's inexplicable summons forces him to confront the life he thought he'd never have.

Caught between Jonathan's faithful legacy and the demons Saul left behind, Mephi fights to believe that David will be strong enough to save them both from the looming prophecy of violence at their doors. When a devastating betrayal threatens his bond with the king, Mephi must decide once and for all if he has truly made peace with the past.
