He was the first child of the Exile. He would become the last witness of the world.

Cain, the firstborn of Adam, was never meant for the quiet grace of the Garden. Driven by a restless ambition and a mark that forbids his death, he flees into the waste of the East. There, in the parched Land of Nod, he does the unthinkable: he builds a wall against the silence of God.

THE CITY OF ASH From a single stone rises Enoch, a towering ziggurat of iron, soot, and defiant brilliance. As the centuries pile up like slag, Cain watches his lineage master the forge and the lyre, transforming a primitive wilderness into a sprawling empire of steam and steel. But as the "Way of Cain" takes root, the world begins to groan under the weight of its own ego.

THE DEPTHS OF THE VOID When the heavens finally break and the Great Deluge reclaims the earth, Cain is the only one who cannot drown. Lashed to his immortality, he becomes a ghost of the abyss, wandering the lightless ocean floor among the rusted skeletons of his once-mighty towers.

THE SHADOW OF BABEL Emerging into a world of mud and salt, Cain finds that the flood has washed away the cities, but not the sin. In the plains of Shinar, he watches a new king rise—Nimrod—who seeks to build a ladder to the stars. Cain stands in the shadow of the Tower of Babel, the only man who knows how the story ends, and the only one who understands that every fortress is a tomb.

AN EPIC REIMAGINING OF THE DAWN OF CIVILIZATION.

The First Wonderer is a haunting exploration of the human heart, the cost of progress, and the eternal restlessness of a species that keeps trying to build its way back to a home it no longer remembers.
