We have been acquired and discarded at the whim of kings. Our lives have turned on the hinge of history, on who fell and who lived on the battlefield. (Michal, Extract from Scroll ב)
When Tabytha's city falls to the powerful Hebrew king, she is thrust into his palace as a concubine. In a world where women are little more than objects of power or pleasure, Tabytha commits the ultimate act of defiance. She uses her forbidden skill as a scribe to record the stories of the harem's women. Through the accounts of King David's wives, Tabytha gains a deeper understanding of her enigmatic husband-a man she once feared but is growing to love. But as the house of David is torn apart by lust, murder, betrayal, and war, Tabytha discovers the danger of belonging to the most powerful man in the land. A man both kind and cruel, tender and treacherous.
Experience biblical history and King David's court as you never have before-through the eyes of an ancient concubine. Harem Scrolls is the story of one courageous woman's resolve to give a voice to those history would forget.
