Description: "The old king is dying and his sons are contending for the succession. At the very center of this power struggle is a young and beautiful girl. But this is no fairy tale.".

"Few female Biblical characters are as intriguing as Avishag: a young girl brought from a remote village to the court of the aged King David, to warm the king's bed and stir his aged blood. Reticent and loyal to David, she becomes an unwitting magnet, drawing the attention of the Kingdom's most powerful men.

As the sons of David - Adonijah the Judean warrior and Solomon, the King's youngest and cleverest son - stake their claims, it is Avishag who will play the decisive role in their bloody rivalry for the throne."--BOOK JACKET.
