Before They Awaken (ePub)

In the sequel to King David's Lost Crown, Mahlir's two year old son and heir to the crown of Israel's northern kingdom, lies dead, assassinated, the victim of political rivalry. But there is hope. There is a man who is rumored to have the ability to raise up the dead, and he is Jerusalem for the Passover celebration. It's the hope of the impossible. Because this man, this mysterious sorcerer, worker of the miraculous whom some are beginning to call the Messiah, would have to first raise himself from the dead, for unbeknownst to Mahlir, he has been executed, nailed to a cross, a method of death reserved for the most heinous of criminals.
