Synopsis
[The first book of the series is now available on Amazon! Due to Kindle Unlimited's exclusivity policy, I unfortunately cannot distribute it on other platforms, such as Royal Road.]
"Whatever happened in Iberia, [...] it will curse them for the rest of their lives."
Nothing could have prepared Julien for the eldritch truth that unfurled before him: His once-dead liege, Robert, has emerged from eternal slumber, albeit as just a husk of his former self, and is now under his complete control.
This new reality beckons Julien to join the hunt as an Enochian, a protector of all godly creations, against the corrupting influence of the Nephilim. Join him as he learns to harness his new powers and sets out on a new, dual quest across the Iberian Peninsula: to protect humanity from a foul menace, and to breathe true, complete life into his liege’s undead body.
"Enochian Tales" offers a fascinating blend of history, myth, and magic, with a twist of classic chivalric romances. Set against the vibrant cultures and landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula in the late 11th century, the novel brings to life a world where historical accuracy meets fantastical, grim adventure.

Summary of the first book (SPOILERS AHEAD!):
Julien, a squire who survives a failed crusade in which his liege, Count Robert of Omois, perishes, returns home heavy with guilt. Using mystical arts awakened by a mysterious man named Gregorio, Julien keeps Robert’s corpse animated, deceiving the court into believing the count is still alive. As castellan, Julien oversees Omois while grappling with growing suspicion from the court and the weight of his secret.
Before long, Gregorio summons Julien to become an Enochian, a protector of divine creations tasked with battling Nephilim and Eliouds. Guided by powerful figures like Arnau, a kind-hearted fire-wielding Enochian, María, a skilled and ambitious mind-controller, and Tariq, an Enochian who refuses to use his powers, Julien discovers more about his own innate abilities and the mysterious new world surrounding him.
Julien is actually relieved by Robert becoming more “alive” with each Nephilim slain, seeing it as a sign of hope amidst the chaos. However, he still struggles with the growing consequences of his actions, particularly the corruption of his friend Urraca, who has been tainted by Nephilim energy.
Julien and Robert, along with Tariq and Urraca, now head northward to assist Arnau, who has encountered a challenge too great to face alone. Despite a mysterious new threat looming in the south and Urraca’s growing corruption, Julien remains determined to support his new allies.
