I loved these characters and this story, and so will you." - Sam J. Miller, Nebula-Award-winning author of The Art of Starving and Blackfish City The Compton Crook award–winning author of The Prey of Gods and Temper returns with a dazzling stand-alone novel, set in deep space, in which the fate of humanity rests on the slender shoulders of an idealistic and untested young woman—a blend of science fiction, dark humor, and magical realism that will appeal to fans of Charlie Jane Anders, Jeff VanderMeer, and Nnedi Okorafor.

For generations, humanity has been clinging to survival by establishing colonies within enormous vacuum-breathing space beasts and mining their resources to the point of depletion.

Defying social barriers, Seske teams up with her best friend, a beast worker, and ventures into restricted areas for answers to end the mounting fear and rumors. Instead, they discover grim truths about the price of life in the void. Then, Seske is unexpectedly thrust into the role of clan matriarch, responsible for thousands of lives in a harsh universe where a single mistake can be fatal. Her claim to the throne is challenged by a rival determined to overthrow her and take control—her intelligent, cunning, and confident sister. Seske may not be a born leader like her sister, yet her unorthodox outlook and incorruptible idealism may be what the clan needs to save themselves and their world.

This is a book written so people could get to know more about who Cain was, as most only know him as the man who killed his brother Abel. The book engages in a plausible forensic study of Cain's character and explores his humanity. This study is not dogmatic but provides probability to help determine who he may have been and how his life has impacted many. The writers used Scriptures to aid in mapping a possible psyche which led to the following questions: Was there a sibling rivalry? Was there possible animosity or jealousy? What was his childhood like, and how did he relate to his other siblings? Most importantly, what kind of relationship did he have with his twin brother, Abel? This book is not written as a rewrite of biblical Scripture or to create sympathy for Cain but written to explore his conceivable personality. Here is the case for Cain. You be the judge.
