Cain & The Letters: Cain Series book 2
He has lived for two thousand years. He has finally decided to talk.
In The Testimony of Cain, the world met a man who cannot die. Now Cain takes up his pen.
Through a series of letters to the scholar who first told his story, Cain describes the lives he lived between the headlines of history - the centuries no testimony ever recorded. From the orange courtyards of C rdoba to a Paris bakery in the rain, from the Viking borderlands of Saxon England to the tax offices of Damascus and the smoke above a burning library, he writes of love affairs that should never have begun, debts that should never have come due, and mistakes a thousand years in the making.
He shares wine with a caliph. He buries gold with a Viking. He teaches a future king something about courage, argues theology with men who are far too certain, and listens to an old fisherman describe a carpenter from Galilee. Kings come to him to lose weight and end up losing thrones. And everywhere he goes, he bakes bread - which, he insists, is always improving.
These are not the stories of a wise man. They are the stories of a man who was alive, which is a far more dangerous thing, and considerably more embarrassing.
Five countries. Two thousand years. One immortal with nothing left to lose but the truth.
