Kin of Cain is a Christian sequel to Beowulfset in the post-Civil War and Great Depression Adirondacks and in the antediluvian world of Genesis 4. It features figures from those eras, weaving a fictional story throughout the Old English and Biblical epics. Grendel and his mother are dead ? but something from the race of Cain survived. Escaping an abusive past and nightmares of killing her father, Sarah Crandall discovers her family?s history in Nod, east of Eden, through the strange Pass of Fire in the Great Depression Adirondacks. There, in the home of her ancestors built upon the foundation of Hrothgar?s hall, she fights the spirit of her great-grandmother waiting to possess her and the horror that loved her in centuries past. In Enoch, the city built by Cain in rebellion to God?s curse to wander the earth, Sarah must choose to become ?Adah? of the Biblical prophecy or lose her life. Love, redemption, sacrifice, and the consequences of sin feature heavily in this twisted ?Beauty and the Beast? tale that will leave you wondering if you are not also ? kin of Cain.
