His eldest brother, Adonijah, refuses to accept him as heir and will stop at nothing to take away his crown. Meanwhile, Solomon continues to struggle with the love of a woman he can never have: the green-eyed Shunammite who entered his world as the newest addition to his father's harem. Determined to rip her from his heart, Solomon leaves to Egypt on his first diplomatic trip and to everyone's surprise, returns with a new bride. Will she help him forget his first love, or will Abishag forever haunt his thoughts and dreams?As the new King of Israel, and with a new wife in tow, Abishag finds she is no longer needed - or wanted - at the palace. She struggles with the pain of her loss, not knowing what will become of her now that King David is dead and Solomon has expelled her from his life. Will she be sent back to Shunem, to suffer under the tyranny of her hateful brother? Will her continued struggles continue to chip away at her waning faith in God? Teetering on the edge of despair, Abishag wonders if she can ever find the strength within herself to find faith and hope - both in her God and in life's second chances.
