Cain: Son of Adam

Book excerpt: "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Genesis 3:15) It is the dawn of human history. The entire human race consists of one family: Adam, Eve and their three children. Their sons, Cain and Abel, and daughter, Naomi, are on the cusp of adulthood and know nothing of fear or sorrow. But that happiness is shattered when they discover why their parents were banished from the Garden of Eden. What's more, the Creator has emerged after long silence, commanding Cain to offer Him a sacrifice... What follows is a tale of romance and heartbreak; of brotherly love and treachery; of desire, despair and ever fragile hope; as Cain sets out to fulfill his greatest desire: to kill Nahash, the Great Serpent who overthrew his parents, and bring humanity back to Eden.
