At twenty, JW Dawes inherits more than unimaginable Wealth. He inherits a doctrine.

His billionaire father introduces him to the illustrious King David Syndrome, a philosophy of entitlement, indulgence, and consequence-free desire reserved for men who rule kingdoms built of money and power. Women, excess, and illusion become rites of passage rather than moral questions. JW thrives inside the fantasy, mastering the art of living above consequence, mistaking privilege for destiny.

For years, the illusion holds.

Then Illisya appears.

An Urban Hunter-Gatherer with instincts sharpened by survival and intelligence honed by restraint, Illisya does not chase JW; she stalks him. She studies the cracks in his kingdom and slips through them, quietly dismantling the rules that once protected him. What begins as seduction evolves into a psychological chess match, drawing JW into a love triangle so intoxicating, so precisely engineered, escape becomes impossible.

As desire collides with loyalty and illusion fractured under truth, JW is forced to confront the cost of the life he was taught to worship. Power no longer guarantees safety. Wealth no longer shields consequences.

The King David Syndrome is a suspenseful psychological thriller about seduction, control, inherited belief systems, and the dangerous moment when a man realizes the kingdom he rules may be the very thing destroying him.
