Deon Doeks, author of The Road to Royalty, the story of King David told as never before, proudly holds copies of his novel.

Doeks was compelled to write this version of the Bible story to humanize and legitimize the man “God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.’ Yes, David was chosen to rule by The Creator of All, but he was also flesh and blood; had wants, desires and endured every emotional and physical discomfort and trial as we would.

Amid the unrest, a Greek trader chases prosperity as bronze gives way to the Iron Age. He befriends an idealistic young priest and teaches him the first forms of linear writing. Together the two men witness one of the most prolific adventures of the ancient world.

David is betrothed to the King Saul’s daughter, Michal, but their fairytale romance is tainted with blood and woven with deceit as her father manipulates circumstance. Exposed, their lives are threatened in a sequence of gripping events that plot the road they are made to endure before David is anointed to reign as Royalty

Love, Honor, Trust

In a world where the evil of a dynasty freely unleashes the wickedness of its king, love rises above circumstance, honor above deceit, and trust is the adrenalin that runs through this heroic tale of how a shepherd boy became a king.

Deon Doeks lives and writes in the Wilderness, South Africa.
