Publisher's Synopsis
What If Ancient Myth... Is Actually the Truth? Genesis, the first book of the Bible, describes a world dominated by "giants." What if those giants were actually the "gods" of ancient cultures? The series The Last Nephilim explores this fascinating idea, calling upon many ancient traditions to inform a richly imaginative idea of how myth and the Bible might intersect. Capthorim explores the island of Crete, which the Bible describes as populated by giants, who are the ancestors of the Philistines. This second book of The Last Nephilim shifts focus from Persus and introduces his brother Minos, who finds himself at the head of a world empire after his wicked father, Capthor, is deposed. Along with his brother Rhadamanthos, Minos struggles to find the right path. They are helped and instructed by an angel of the Lord, but still they are faced with the daunting task of eradicating idolatry and spreading truth to the human world...starting with their own island. A compelling, exciting story about the battle between good and evil, truth and lies, Capthorim is a fast-paced, thought- provoking epic that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
