The Sword of Goliath focuses primarily on a man named Jacob Stanton, who is spending his days in San Quentin Penitentiary for a crime he did not commit. Jake was wrongly accused, unfairly tried, and unreasonably sentenced for the murder of his wife, and he’s just lost his final appeal. As Jake begins to mentally prepare for life inside the walls of San Quentin, he’s assigned a new cell-mate, Stephen Stross, who convinces him that he is a member of the Shaddai.

After having successfully obtained one of the artifacts, Jake Stanton, a newly awakened Shaddai Knight, and Steven Stross, Jake’s guardian, once again find themselves incarcerated after turning themselves in at the behest of Inspector Sam Jericho, who wants to clear their names. Jake and Stephen soon realize that their prosecutor is an evil Grigori intent on ensuring that they remain behind bars and that the jury is stacked against them.
