Reader Advisory: Please be aware that this book contains strong language and mature themes which may not be suitable for all audiences. Reader discretion is advised.

In the heartland of Shiloh, where broken dreams and shattered hopes lie, lives Ahinoam. Her only desire is simple: to marry a kind-hearted man and build an ordinary family away from the ruins of her past. She finds solace in Saul, a modest man from the tribe of Benjamin, but she soon learns the tranquility she yearns for—is a fleeting illusion.

When Ahinoam learns of Saul’s secret coronation, her dreams crumble under the weight of impending reality. The prophet Samuel’s deep-seated hatred against Saul, actively undermining his reign, reverberates across their kingdom, crushing Ahinoam’s dreams of a peaceful life.

Saul’s reign becomes more widely accepted as he leads a victorious battle against the Ammonites. However, he battles depression and violent outbursts; he inflicts emotional wounds on his and Ahinoam’s son, Jonathan; and their son-in-law, David, thrusts Ahinoam into a whirlwind of chaos.

Seeking comfort, Saul brings another woman into their lives, intensifying the family tension. When Michal’s husband joins the royal household and enters their palace, he sets off a storm of dispute that rattles the family’s foundations.

The outer world is no sanctuary, either—the Philistines grow stronger, and Samuel continues his campaign of resistance against the king. Ahinoam, the pillar of her family, strives to hold them together against these adversities.

Based on the Biblical woman, King Saul’s Wife is a tale of love, power, betrayal, and survival, set against the wild backdrop of a kingdom on the brink of collapse. It is a testament to the powerful spirit of a woman who dared to dream amidst the ashes of her reality.

Who will survive the battle of Gilboa? Will Saul remain king?
