Shadow Warrior

Rejected by their father and left to be raised with Jesse’s family, the sons of Zeruiah are intensely loyal. Abishai, Joab, and Asa battle side by side with David to establish him as King of Israel. The two oldest are captains in his army.
The boys grow up as sheepherders in the fields outside of Bethlehem alongside David one of Zeruiah’s brothers. Though only a year older than Abishai, he is the leader and instigator of their adventures. The brothers develop special skills. Abishai, the eldest, with his ability to blend into the dark, lives his life as a spy in the shadows. Joab serves as a warrior and statesman. The youngest, Asahel, a swift runner, works as a courier. They join with David to bring him to power.

What happens when David becomes king and the excitement ends? Or, if his hero falters? Faced with a critical decision, Abi decides honor is more important than his life and ignores God’s promise for himself.

Their story begins with the four boys tending their sheep in the fields outside of Bethlehem. Though life is settled into a routine with no possibility of escape, they still dream of greatness. One day a stranger comes to Bethlehem and changes their lives forever.
Suddenly, more power than they ever imagined is within their grasp.
