Before the Flood

Before the Flood: The Crimson Cities is the next story in the same antediluvian world as The Fall of Atlantis — Christian dark fantasy set in the days when the Watchers walked the earth and violence filled it.

Where Atlantis is the island empire of rings, marble, and Nephilim kings, the Crimson Cities are the mainland temple-states: stepped black cities, fire-altars, obelisks, and processions of the faithful and the damned under a horned “god” raised up as if he were the Creator. The prologue, The God Ascends, opens on that ascent — children and elders in white led between black-robed priests toward a living idol while the city gathers to worship what heaven has already condemned.

The through-line of the series stays the same: a world drunk on forbidden power, a remnant that still remembers the Word, and a judgment that will not stay waiting forever. All flesh is grass. The grass withers. The Word endures.

In a near-future world on the brink of mastering quantum teleportation, brilliant physicist Julian Voss achieves the impossible: instantaneous matter transfer that will end distance forever. But as his breakthrough nears, strange glitches escalate into terrifying warnings—flickering apparitions, exploding lights, and horrifying changes in living subjects that defy science.

Haunted by a sorrowful presence that seems determined to stop him, Julian must confront whether his invention is humanity’s salvation… or the opening of a door that should never be unlocked. A chilling blend of hard sci-fi, Christian dark fantasy, and biblical horror, Teraphim explores the terrifying cost of playing God and the ancient line between genius and damnation.
