When the Old Testament Meets Game of Thrones

When the people of Israel are told to sacrifice their children to false gods, they must resist, but who will save them from the power of the state? Elijah will wield all his prophetic authority to overthrow King Ahab and his heathen trophy wife, Jezebel.

The queen has hated the man of God ever since she began her reign of terror from Israel's capital Samaria, but after Elijah kills hundreds of her false prophets, she is more determined than ever to hunt him down. Her fury drives him into the wilderness where we find him in despair and praying for his own death.

"It is enough now, Lord. I can no more," And lays his head upon the desert floor.

But he is not alone. Embraced by a raven shape-shifter, and counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven!

In the spirit of Dante, and inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost, this epic poem in 12 chapters relives the stunning miracles of the great prophet as described in the Old Testament, from calling forth rain to raising the dead, from outrunning horses to riding the wind.

But we are also taken behind the scenes to witness Queen Jezebel's murderous seductions, dissension in the royal bodyguard, and angelic battles in heavenly realms.

Raunchy at times, yet always reverent, this epic tale takes wing in the poet's voice.

"Fun, interesting, and entertaining, with elements of a heroic quest, pure fantasy, and sexy romance." Karen Siddall

"The telling was riveting, and you don't need to know the story ahead of time to be moved by it." Kit Donner

"LeRoy has a great talent for writing an epic poem, and his hypnotic voice lends grandly to the narration of the story." Amy's Bookshelf Reviews, Top 10 Books of 2018

"An epic tale, Biblically based, but with considerable writer's freedom that makes the book wholly entertaining." San Francisco Review of Books
