Days of Enoch · Book One

MyrmidonChainbreaker

A former slave. A broken world. A calling he didn't ask for.

Bronze Age Action Novel + Game By J.D. Murphy
Days of Enoch: Myrmidon — Chainbreaker book cover — Antipas, the freed galley slave, standing in armor with spear and broken shield before the enthroned Nephilim, ziggurats and lightning behind.
"You have hewed trees.
I will have you hew giants."
— The Lord of Spirits, to Antipas
Anno Mundi 1443

The flood is coming. Nobody knows it yet. The Watchers — fallen angels — are worshipped as gods. Their offspring, the Nephilim, rule through terror and slavery. Antipas is a freed galley slave with the rebel's brand on his wrist and no interest in anyone's war. But the Lord of Spirits has other plans.

What This Is

Conan the Barbarian meets the Book of Enoch.

A Bronze Age action story set in the antediluvian world of Enoch, the Nephilim, and the Archangels. Antipas is not a hero from the inside — he is afraid, unwilling, and outmatched. His courage is not confidence. It is a choice made against everything his body and mind are telling him.

And that is exactly why he was chosen.

Days of Enoch exists simultaneously as a prose novel and a game design. The characters are real. The world is built. The story is underway.
