HIGHLIGHTS — BENEATH DAVID’S THRONE: MICHAL’S STORY
Beneath David’s Throne: Michal’s Story
(Beneath David’s Throne – Book One)
By Melissa Alfredson
Blurb:
THEY CALL JERUSALEM DAVID’S TRIUMPH.
Michal calls it her cage.
Once a princess of Israel and the woman who helped secure King David’s crown, Michal now lives as a discarded queen in the palace her husband built upon the ruins of her father’s dynasty. Childless and increasingly sidelined as new wives and their sons rise around her, she clings to the fragile power her name still commands.
But when the house of David fractures under rival claims and hidden betrayals, Michal is drawn into the deadly politics of succession as she fights to protect the young princess Tamar, the one soul in the palace she cannot abandon.
As prophecy closes in around David’s throne and old wounds refuse to stay buried, Michal must confront the legacy of her father, the silence of the husband she once loved, and the God whose purposes she cannot escape.
Darkly lyrical and psychologically charged, Beneath David’s Throne is a work of literary historical fiction steeped in the court intrigue and dynastic politics of ancient Israel. For readers of The Red Tent and The Marriage Portrait, this first novel in the Beneath David’s Throne saga reclaims Michal, daughter of Saul—the forgotten woman who stood closest to David’s throne.
History remembered her as barren. This is the story it left out.
Any Triggers: Sexual assault that occurs off-page; the novel explores its aftermath. Abuse of power within a royal family.
