Kalev: Book I in the Age of Rephaim Series
A Novel of Giants, Covenant, and War
 
In a land stained by blood and ruled by giants, one man carries the fire of covenant through shadowed valleys and cities built on bones.
 
Kalev ben Yefuneh is not born of Israel—but chosen by its God. A Kenizzite warrior of uncommon faith, Kalev fights not merely with sword and shield, but against the ancient powers that haunt Kena’an—creatures of old who once ruled before the flood, whose disembodied spirits still whisper through idols, child sacrifice, and blood-soaked altars. These are the Rephaim, the dark seed of the Nephilim, and they will not surrender the land without a war of gods.
 
When Joshua leads the tribes to retake Ai after their initial defeat, the battle is more than military. It is cosmic. The soil groans with the weight of curses, and only the faith of a few—like Kalev—can turn the tide. As the covenant is renewed on Mount Ebal and the shadow of Hebron looms ahead, Kalev must face not only giants, but the wounds of Sinai, the fire of obedience, and the legacy he hopes to pass on to his sons.
 
For readers of Stephen Lawhead and followers of the late Dr. Michael Heiser, author of The Unseen Realm, this is biblical fiction that doesn’t flinch from the supernatural worldview of the ancient Near East. Rich in theology and mythic realism, Kalev is the beginning of a journey where heaven and earth collide—and only faith can stand against the old gods.
