AlbakiReads Editorial

A Davidic lineage across centuries

Spanning episodes in 702 C.E. North Africa, 1799 Acre, and 1969 New York, the novel connects families said to descend from King David. Its historical threads include Al-Kahina’s effort to send her son to safety and the disappearance of Chaim Farhi’s family after Acre’s defense against Napoleon. A later strand introduces a New York man haunted by the murder of his family, while another centers on a young singer named David, taken with his mother and sister by a group called The Watchers. Jewish hopes for a Davidic king and mystical beliefs about candidates in each generation frame these linked stories.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical fiction spanning North Africa, Acre, and New York.

Book overview

The year was 702 C.E., the place North Africa's Aures Mountains. Al-Kahina, "the Sorceress" and princess of the Jewish Berber Jarawa tribe, prepared to lead her army in a last battle against invading Muslim forces. But not before sending her son, a descendant of the biblical King David, to safety.

In 1799, Chaim Farhi, advisor to Jezzer Ali Pasha, governor of Sanjak Acre, readied defenses against Napoleon and his army. Aided by the British navy, the Sultan's forces break the French siege. But in the victory Farhi, his wife, daughter and young son--believed by the Jews of Acre to be of Davidic lineage--disappear.

In 1969, a man walks into a New York City delicatessen. Half-forgotten aromas bring back memories of the day they murdered his family. He killed how many Iron Cross thugs but can't take the old potato and onion smell from his childhood? This man has a son, who as a man many women will not resist and who may be a descendant of King David.

A stealth helicopter piloted by The Watchers snatches a young man, his mother and sister from a Havana beach. The boy is a singer whose songs captivate millions. His name is David, like his father and grandfather before him...

Jews pray daily for mosiach, the Davidic king who will rule from Jerusalem. Mystics say each generation contains it candidates. Verification comes with The David Discovery.
