Synopsis
As
rumours surface about the new King, his young wife and her unborn
child, the prophet Nathaniel will insist that King David seek the Ark
of the Covenant of God. Yet, with a trail of tortured bodies
appearing from nowhere, with no explanation, it will be clear that
General Martinez must be called back from retirement.
As
General Martinez leaves his quiet and comfortable days in the field
behind him, he will realise that a return to the service of the King
must once more take priority over the pursuit of love.
The
Egyptian Princess Jezebel will push the pain of betrayal from her
mind, instead, replacing it with rage and a longing for revenge. Her
magic and powers of seduction may not have been enough to bring the
Israeli Kingdom to its knees, but now, the General, the King, and the
Priestess will all pay for the death of her father and her banishment
from the Royal Palace of the Pharaoh.
As
the King seeks the Ark, a new mystery will arise. A new born child
will be prophesied; a child of great influence and power. Many men of
God will make claim to know the origin of the child, but only the
little Holy man will truly know and understand. Old enemies will
conspire, as the Universe will reunite old friends to save the life
of a loved one, to seek the Ark and to fight to restore balance once
more.

The
Story Behind Seed
of Hope
When
I started writing, I didn’t really plan past my first book, Destiny
of Kings.
That book took six years to complete, but I was so inspired and I
enjoyed the process so much I started on Seed
of Hope
shortly after I published book one.
I
love the idea of a series of books, but as a busy person, I also
understand it is good to be able read individual editions without
waiting for sequels to come out. Seed
of Hope
begins a few years after Destiny
of King.
Although general Martinez is still a main character and a lot of the
story is told from his point of view, this story dives much deeper
into the character of Jezebel and readers will hear her most inner
thoughts. Her story is dark and she can only remember little pieces
of it; which she recalls throughout the book.
Like
book one, Seed
of Hope
finds the grey areas which so often lie between good and evil. The
story is driven by its characters as much as by the plot. Many of the
characters have untold stories still to come in book three and four.
This story is more complex than the first, but I think readers will
still follow it easily.
People
might wonder why I have chosen to use the world of Old Testament
Israel for a base. To best honest, I didn’t realise why myself when
I began. Whether you believe the Bible stories or not doesn’t
really matter. The recount of historical Israel is full of
interesting characters, complex historical moments and so much untold
intrigue. It is this untold story I get lost in when I write. I hope
you do too.
