A foreign girl gathering scraps to survive. A woman racing through the night to stop a future king from destroying his own legacy. These are not the stories you were taught. In The God of the Outcasts, Lorcan Pike brings the lesser-known figures of the Old Testament into sharp, gritty focus —stripping away the polish to reveal stories of survival, tension, and quiet defiance. Each story stands alone.
