Jared, a warrior of unwavering faith, sets sail on a journey of discovery—only to be cast into a land long forsaken. Here, the people have been severed from the Creator, consumed by violence, corruption, and greed.
At the heart of this darkness stands Tubal-Cain, a man of privilege whose jealousy and insatiable thirst for power drives him to claim absolute control. Fueled by insecurity and ruthless ambition, he destroys any who challenge him—including Jared and his people.
Yet, even amid the chaos, a powerful being walks among men—one not born of them, yet determined to lead them. But as he steps beyond his purpose, he discovers something love. And love is a weakness. In the shadows, an ancient malevolence watches, ready to twist that love into a weapon of destruction.
With darkness closing in, Jared must stand against impossible odds. Joined by his great-grandfather Enosh, he embarks on a perilous journey through a lost land, where only the Creator can light their path. But as war brews and hidden forces tighten their grip, Jared must face the ultimate question—can faith alone triumph over the rising tide of evil?
World of City of Enoch is the first epic installment in a sweeping Old Testament–inspired trilogy, chronicling the patriarchal line from Adam to Noah in a world where faith battles tyranny, hope fights despair, and the fate of mankind hangs in the balance.
I honestly wasn't sure about reading "Biblical fantasy" because it sounds like Sunday school homework, but this was actually pretty intense. It feels more like an action movie set in ancient times where this guy Jared has to survive against a super evil tyrant named Tubal-Cain. The world-building of the City of Enoch is actually cool because it feels dark and creepy, almost like a dystopian novel but way in the past. It’s engaging enough that you don't get bored, even if some of the "good vs. evil" speeches get a little heavy-handed and predictable sometimes.
The main issue I had was keeping track of all the names and who was related to who, especially since they all sound kind of similar and ancient. For the next edition, the authors really need to put a family tree or a character map at the very beginning of the book. Since the story talks so much about ancestors and lines of descent, having a simple visual guide to see how Jared connects to Enosh and the others would make it way easier to follow the drama without having to flip back constantly to check who’s who.
