Kalev: Book I in the Age of the Rephaim Series

Kalev is a sweeping work of historical fiction that reimagines the biblical conquest of Canaan with cinematic detail and spiritual depth. Rooted in the ancient world of the Old Testament, this novel follows Kalev (Caleb), one of the two faithful spies from the book of Numbers, as he leads his family, tribe, and warriors through the fire and fury of Israel's campaign to claim the Promised Land.

As the Israelites march under Joshua's command, they face more than fortified cities and pagan altars. Lurking within the highlands and valleys are the Rephaim-giants of old, remnants of a time before the flood. These ancient enemies, fierce and cunning, hold the land with iron strength, and defeating them will require more than military might-it will demand faith, sacrifice, and unwavering trust in the promises of Yahweh.

Drawing on archaeological insights, biblical texts, and Jewish tradition, Kalev weaves a rich tapestry of faith, war, family, and endurance. Through the eyes of Kalev, his fierce wife Azubah, the faithful and revered Rachava, and a generation of warriors and children raised in the wilderness, the novel explores themes of loyalty, legacy, and the clash between divine purpose and human fear.

This is not a sanitized tale of conquest, but a grounded, gritty retelling where every victory comes at a cost, and every character must confront the weight of their calling. From the caves of Hebron to the final breath of Joshua, Kalev invites readers into a forgotten world-where giants still roam, angels walk unseen, and a people learn what it means to walk in covenant.
