*CONTENT WARNING: If you are bothered by intense violence, or if you dislike fantasy fiction, this book is NOT for you.*
The murder was just the beginning. Inflamed by jealousy and on the brink of madness, Cain-firstborn among men-brutally beats his twin brother, Abel, to death. As the family struggles to believe God hasn't abandoned them, Cain flees into the wilderness with the growing fear that murdering his brother might have birthed an unstoppable evil. Soon, all of life balances upon one perilous question: is the monster inside Cain the gateway to godhead or the end of mankind? Cain is a daring, atmospheric novel-the first in a new biblical fiction series based on Genesis 1-11-drawn with visionary scope, literary depth, and immense respect for the biblical text. Come, get lost in the wonders of Genesis.
*The original intent of the story of Cain and Abel in the Bible was not for it to be a moral tale, but rather to show the total depravity of man, and God's mercy in the midst of that total depravity. This fantasy novel, inspired by the original historical narrative, is therefore a dark, intense read that explores those same themes. Not a book for the young or easily disturbed.*
