Description
In a world on the brink of catastrophe, where rising waters herald an approaching flood of biblical proportions, four children from a simple village find themselves thrust into an ancient conflict that melds epic high fantasy with deeply personal coming-of-age challenges.
When shadow beasts destroy their home of Shepherd's Hollow, Japheth, Adina, Kenan, and Naomi flee with a mysterious metal shard-one of five fragments of an artifact called The Divider. Guided by magical tokens with subtle, mysterious influences and pursued by monstrous hybrids, they navigate a landscape where the ordinary and magical intertwine: gardens where reality bends, ancient forests with sentient trees, and mountains harboring secrets older than human memory.
As the children discover their unique abilities-each developing talents that reflect their true natures and innermost qualities-they begin to understand the true stakes of their journey. The nephilim, fallen celestial beings of terrifying power, seek to prevent the coming flood, preserving their corruption when the waters should cleanse it away. Only by reuniting the five shards of The Divider can humanity hope to ensure that whatever world emerges from the deluge will be free from these dark influences.
With each step toward the sanctuary of Methuselah, an ancient guardian whose wisdom has been gathered across countless centuries, the children face increasingly dangerous challenges that test their courage, loyalty, and newfound powers. Their fellowship, forged through shared hardship and common purpose, becomes their greatest strength in a world where trusted maps no longer guide and ancient evils gather strength.
Written with the mythic depth and sweeping historical vision of Tolkien, while capturing the wonder of discovering one's own remarkable gifts in the tradition of Rowling, The Antediluvian Chronicles delivers an epic tale of transformation, sacrifice, and the battle between corruption and purity in a world about to be reborn through water.
