​By the Waters of En Gedi
Book III: Trilogy of Kings Saga

Picture
The heavens withhold their light, and the earth groans beneath the weight of kings and warriors.

From the heights of Gilboa to the wilderness of En Gedi, the clash of destinies
resounds
—one anointed to rule, another to rise.

In the shadow of prophecy, swords are drawn, loyalties tested, and the will of the Almighty made known. King Saul, tormented by vanishing glory, grasps for what slips beyond his reach. David, a warrior once beloved, walks the path of exile, his name a whisper that stirs the hearts of men.
​

As kingdoms wane and the breath of war scorches the land, the line between vengeance and redemption blurs.

Who shall stand when the dust is spent? Whose name shall the winds bear away?

A tale of sorrow and glory, of broken oaths and divine purpose, 
​
By the Waters of En Gedi weaves an ancient song of fate, where men strive, hearts falter, and the unseen hand of Providence moves.
She grabs the reader by the collar and drags them into the story.
— Robert L. Webb, Ph.D.

​ 
A powerful and unflinching portrait of Saul and David. 
— Barbara J. McClanahan, EdD
​
“Under the shelter of the walls, in the shadow of the rock, they sat down by the waters of En Gedi. And they knew, even in the desert, God provides that which is needed.”
— By the Waters of En Gedi
