Destruction is imminent. Time is running out. Desperate to bring his scattered family together, Noah is determined to save them whatever the cost. But how far will he go? Would he kill another human? Would he enter Dorshan and attack the Nephilim in their own city?
------------------------------------------
For Noah's sons, completing the Ark is the first priority, yet they must also find wives. But where, when all the world is corrupt? There is Beth, their mother's handmaiden, who longs for Japheth but catches Shem's eye instead. There is also the slave girl, Shandai, nursed back from the brink of death and willing to seduce either one.
Meanwhile for Ham there seems to be no one, and a life of inheriting only the scraps of his older brothers. Tension within the family and from without threatens to tear them apart, as Satan uses any means available to destroy God's remnant; vengeful enemies, the demon spawn Nephilim, and if possible, even one another.
_____________________________
Many have tried to adapt the Flood legends, exploring the questions: Why would God send a flood to destroy so many? How could a loving Father bring down such complete annihilation? What grieved the Creator so deeply that He would flood away an entire world, leaving only a remnant of eight?
This trilogy cuts to the heart of those questions and more. The Flood story is one of our world's most ancient tales; it's also the most misunderstood. Scholarly commentaries gloss over the Flood. Movie versions seldom do the tale justice. Children's Bibles tame it into one of a robed, grandfatherly Noah and plush animal figurines.
So let the first book in this series usher you toward a fresh revelation of the Flood event, envision God's remnant as never before, and find answers that may surprise you. And, as you follow the series to its end, discover a grace even deeper than the waters that covered an entire world.
