Kings & Priests - Evelyn M. Exley

Where the fate of a kingdom unfolds through the callings of... Kings and Priests

SILVER MEDALIST IN THE 2026 NEXT GENERATION INDIE BOOK AWARDS FOR RELIGIOUS FICTION. One of three silver medalist placements across titles.

Eren has always been told she runs for the Halevi.

Raised among worship and prayer, she is formed from childhood in the ancient work of the Temple. The Halevi are intercessors, standing between the Whisper and the people, whose prayers carry weight and shape the course of the land. Her grandfather Malachi, High Priest of the tribe, prophesies that she will one day walk with kings, and teaches her the ways of priests and kings alike - assuring her that no cost she pays will ever be greater than its reward.

When betrayal arises, the Halevi are cast into exile, their sacred life torn away. Yet what the Whisper has spoken does not change. And even as the cost of running grows heavy and the path forward grows harder to see, Eren clings to the promise that He will accomplish what He has declared. He calls her still - to worship, to intercede, and to run.

Kings and Priests is a mythic spiritual epic of human choice and divine response, sacrifice and reward, where the fate of a kingdom unfolds through the callings of kings and priests, and in the faithfulness with which each runs their course.
