From award-winning author Jean Hoefling comes the third compelling chapter in the historical fantasy series The Chronicles of Genesis.
Stones of Fire: A Supernatural Biblical Novel of the Preflood Prophet Enoch
In a world teetering on the edge of ruin before Noah’s flood, Enoch stands defiant against the Shining Ones—fallen angels whose seductive power corrupts all they touch—and their formidable offspring, the Nephilim. With the beautiful and resolute Eeda fighting beside him, Enoch is content with his legendary calling, one that seems written in the stars.
Until God beckons him to a higher purpose that demands the ultimate sacrifice.
Transported to and from the celestial realm over many years, Enoch is witness to mysteries and cosmic wonders no mortal was meant to comprehend. Though his spirit soars with newfound wisdom, his heart aches in the absence of Eeda’s steadfast presence.
When he finally returns to an earth hanging in the balance, Enoch must summon every ounce of his newfound strength. Can he banish the Shining Ones to the abyss of hell God has ordained? And will the profound bond between him and Eeda endure their most challenging trial yet?
Stones of Fire—Based on the ancient text of I Enoch, where evil falters, fierce love emboldens, and the light of divine justice illumines primeval humanity’s greatest victory.

2021 Foreword Indies finalist in Religious Fiction
In the mysterious world before Noah’s flood, the stars are ripe with prophecy about an ominous invasion of beings from the sky. The people of Adam and Eve await the event with dread, but Baraqua, a young woman of the clan, is unconcerned about anything but her schemes to marry a man forbidden to her because of her people’s strict marriage traditions. Through the long-awaited bride dream of one of the elders, Jared, Baraqua is forced to turn away from the man she believes she cannot live without and marry Jared, while the elders pray fervently that this headstrong scribe’s daughter will give birth to the world’s Savior, Anointed One.
This gripping historical fantasy novel about the era when fallen angels ruled the earth brings clarity to the mysterious “sons of God” of Genesis 6:1 and confirms the age-old belief that courage and love have the power to stand down evil.

Akliah is the wife of one of the Bible‘s most notorious villains. Yet her story is not Cain’s. It is entirely her own.
Gold in Havilah: A Novel of Cain’s Wife
Know this before we begin: I never planned to turn away from the true God. I didn’t intend to exchange heavenly love for fleshly, or dismiss that One who was all purity as though he were evil. Yet, I, Akliah, daughter of Adam, gorged on the same forbidden food he and my mother Eve ate on the day they chose to die. I was born with the tainting poison in my blood that first coursed through theirs in a garden called Eden. I craved the mysteries of unearned knowledge instead of the simplicity of God. That is the true curse that drove my parents from paradise—the lost desire for the heart of God.
