Solomon's Song of Songs is brought to vivid life in this lyrical telling of the secret history of Avishag and her lovers.
King David's strength is failing, and his sons vie for the throne. Only one person brings comfort to the dying king, and that is the sweet Avishag.
Known to be the most beautiful woman in all of Israel, she inspires love, jealousy, and adoration. Many men desire her, and to have her will cement legitimacy as heir to the throne. War, divine visions, and ecstatic nights of youthful passion threaten to bring Israel toppling down. The young Avishag is both a queen and a pawn in the games of quarreling princes, and the stakes are love, death, and the Kingdom of God.
This is a romantic epic like unto the tales of Tristan and Isolde, Arthur and Guinevere, or David and Bathsheba.
Avishag is one of the most romantic characters of biblical history... It is time for the world to know her story.

Adam Howard was born and raised in the garden valleys of the Umpqua. He spent his youth skipping school to hunt, fish and get into all sorts of trouble good for the development of a young man. He grew up reading books like “Watership Down” by Richard Adams, “White Fang” by Jack London and “The Fox and the Hound” by Dan Mannix. Books like these were not so much life-changing as life-affirming for the young Adam Howard. These classic authors wrote of a world Adam recognized and lived in. He now writes outdoor fiction and non-fiction in the hopes that his books will bring as much joy to others as the classics brought to him; that the traditions of outdoorsmen will never be lost, but always remembered fondly for what they are, a way of life.
