For 3,000 years, the descendants of mighty warriors have guarded secret treasures ordered hidden by King Solomon. Now Benjamin is caught in the crossfire of a power struggle within this hidden society—and the truths buried here could change the world's future as we know it. As scenes of ancient biblical times come alive and an unexpected love takes root, Benjamin must wrestle with what is myth and what is real.

In a Warrior's Quiver
Before the journey's end, there was a beginning.
King Solomon may have died three thousand years ago, but his heavenly wisdom set in motion a mission of epic proportions. His most trusted general, Shuriah, now sails across the Mediterranean to a land of enemies to exhume and
move the greatest treasure of treasures.
As the old general reflects on his youth, we witness the rise of an unpredictable, almost supernaturally gifted warrior—the youngest ever to earn the honor—and the painful secret involving King David, Bathsheba, and Uriah the Hittite that
could bring a king to his knees. This is the prequel that reveals how the guarding began.
