The Kingdom or the Girl? Bloodthirsty demons attack him.Strange spirits protect him. A seer foretells his shocking destiny. In a primitive land filled with magic, witches and giants, a sixteen-year-old musician named David is summoned to chase away the nightmares haunting the King each night. But bad dreams aren't the only thing troubling the King. Demons torment him, and David will need more than music to break the curse. A deeper and darker evil plagues the countryside. Two powerful foes-the Witch of Endor and a giant named Goliath-lead an army that threatens to enslave the country. The King's army is crumbling and only a champion can save them, but who would be fool enough to face the giant? Princess Michal is frustrated by the constraints of palace life, but David's arrival makes things infinitely more interesting. She finds herself drawn to him, but the King strictly forbids a romance with a poor musician. Only by defying her father's wishes and risking her freedom will they have a chance to be together. Armed with just his sling and his love for Michal, David must prove his worth by defeating Goliath in a battle of champions. When David falls in love with the rebellious princess, his heart tugs him toward the impossible. As he steps into battle, he faces an unthinkable choice-either save the kingdom or be with the girl of his dreams. He can't do both.
