Six Giant Assassins. Goliath Was Only the First.
Everyone thinks they know the story of David. No one has heard it told this way before.

As David rises, he must flee the demon-possessed King Saul, avoid assassination, withstand the seduction of a Philistine queen, conquer the last of the giants in Israel and overcome his own weakness for many wives.
