The Genesis Trilogy
The Heavens Before retells the enthralling biblical account of the Great Flood—as seen through the eyes of a courageous woman. In a world of astonishing beauty and appalling violence, Annah dares to believe in the Most High, the God who is nothing more than foolish legend to the people of her settlement.

He Who Lifts the Skies retells the biblical account of the building of the tower of babel. The Mighty Hunter, Great-King Nimr-Rada, offers mankind freedom from the judgment of God. But Nimr-Rada’s promises of freedom will only bring his people enslavement to a false god, and to Nimr-Rada himself. Keren must risk death to defy the Great King and end his tyranny.
