When Michal, daughter of Saul, first sees David, she falls in love at once. But her father's enmity and greed stand between her and the man she longs for. When David is forced to flee, her life changes forever - but what will happen when he returns to claim her? |
I never knew how much love could destroy you or how seeking it could make it turn to hate. For love is like a lion. Beautiful and dangerous.
I should not have allowed myself ever to love, but all who looked on David wanted him. Even my brother, Jonathan, although for him perhaps it lasted longer than such things should. For David was dark, with limbs like honey taken fresh from the bee, and eyes which flashed with unknown fire.
I first saw him after the slaying of the Philistines when the women were dancing his victory, although I had already heard of his deeds. Who had not? Being considered too young for the sight of a man, my sister, Merab, and I were watching from a part of the house where my father couldn't see us, giggling at the people's antics. |
