Description

I am such a fan of Mesu Andrews and so grateful for each story she so artfully and masterfully brings to vivid LEE, New York Times bestselling author

Princess Maakah of Geshur is duty-bound to create a political alliance for her father through marriage. The cancellation by King Saul of her betrothal to his fourth-born son compels Maakahs father to send her to the rebel David ben Jesse, a shepherd-warrior anointed years earlier as Israels future king, to propose a marriage between them. Taken aback by stories of Davids ferocity and lowly birth, Maakah considers the match a degrading fate but obeys her fathers wishes out of duty as her nations only heir.

To her relief, David rejects the offer of marriage, but circumstances make it impossible for Maakah to return home, and she must stay with Davids people until it is safe for her to travel again. Facing prejudice and suspicion from the Israelites, Maakah navigates the delicate balance between her noble heritage and her growing respect for Davids faith and leadership. In a land torn by war and divided loyalties, she must choose where her allegiance lies: with her Geshurite people, or with an extraordinary destiny alongside David that beckons her from within.

This gripping second installment of Mesu Andrews Old Testament biblical series of ancient Israel and King Davids brides will appeal to fans of The Chosen, Francine Rivers, Connilyn Cossette, Jill Eileen Smith, and Tessa Afshar.
