THE HOLLOW THRONE

The Final Days of the First King of Israel

A kingdom forged in fire. A soul consumed by silence.

Fifty years ago, Saul of Benjamin was a man of the soil, a head taller than his brothers, chosen by a prophet and ignited by the Spirit of God. He was the shield that broke the Philistine tide and the voice that unified a fractured nation.

But the Spirit has fled.

Now, as the Philistine Iron Lords gather their chariots in the Jezreel Valley, Saul stands alone in a palace of shadows. God is silent. The prophets have vanished. His son's heart belongs to a rival shepherd, and his own mind is a battlefield haunted by a darkness he can no longer command.

Driven by a desperate need for answers, the King will commit the ultimate transgression—crossing enemy lines to seek counsel from the forbidden dead. What he finds at the end of the night is not a way out, but a death warrant.

From the terrifying rituals of the Witch of Endor to the blood-slicked limestone of Mount Gilboa, The Hollow Throne is a visceral, psychological epic. It is the anatomy of a fall, tracking the final fourteen days of a tragic hero who must decide how to die when he has already lost the reason to live.

The crown is a circle of lead. The spear is a heavy burden. The mountain is waiting.
