Abraham Peschel is an Average Man who has built an entire life around being sensible. He has a respectable job, a modest house, a carefully managed future, and very little reason to believe the universe has noticed him. Then, during an ordinary visit to a very modern church, Abraham is noticed. What follows pulls him into the orbit of Sadie Campbell, an ambitious pastor whose world is built from cameras, certainty, charisma, and the conviction that every event means something. As Abraham's private life becomes increasingly entangled with public narratives, institutional power, romance, sex, media, and belief, the safest man in the room begins to discover just how dangerous it can be to let other people explain your life to you. Narrated through the peculiar correspondence of A.A. Mercer, Kenes is a subversive epic satire about conformity, intimacy, spectacle, power, and the stories human beings construct to make chaos feel ordained. Because there is a difference between surviving and actually being alive. Book One of the Adam Cycle
