Drawing from ancient apocryphal texts that shed new light on the timeless tale of Cain and Abel, the author has crafted a novel that delves far deeper than the traditional Old Testament account. These brothers, often reduced to symbols of sacrifice and jealousy, are reimagined with rich complexity.

Abel’s choice of wife, Kelemeth, becomes a quiet storm in their relationship, shaking Cain’s perception of loyalty and stirring a resentment that festers beneath the surface. As the tension mounts, the story explores the fragility of familial love and the slow unraveling of a bond that was once unbreakable.This reimagined narrative goes beyond a simple act of murder—it explores betrayal, heartbreak, and the dark, unspoken desires that can tear even the closest of brothers apart
