The Armor Bearer's Wife

He is the youngest of the generals. The youngest of the king's friends and one of the deadliest warriors in Israel. He is a captain of hundreds and a vicious killer. They say he never even smiles.

She is a servant in the palace. A lowly commoner from the countryside moved to Jerusalem for a better life. She is the daughter of an impoverished family. But they say she is a rare beauty.

These are the days of David, king of Israel, a time of gods and kings. At his side are many famous heroes and commanders, known throughout Mesopotamia for their valor and ferocity. Amongst those heroes is a young man named Naharai. All he has known is violence and bloodshed since he left home as little more than a child. He has no time for women and especially not for love.

Then, he meets Brielle, a young servant in David's court. Captivated and intrigued by this girl, Naharai will find out that matters of the heart are even more dangerous than the battlefield. But one does not become a hero without sacrifice. Can he protect his new love from the enemies he's made, both foreign and at home? Or is the worst enemy . . . himself?
