Cain murdered his brother. God did not kill him. He Marked him.
Before kingdoms. Before empires. Before history learned to hide its monsters, Cain became something the living were never meant to understand: an immortal wanderer carrying a curse that grows stronger with time.
The First Son of Man is a bold biblical reimagining that stretches from the earliest pages of Genesis to a ruined end of the world future where humanity survives in the shadows and the children of the Mark hunt beneath a sky that no longer promises dawn.
Haunted by sunlight. Driven by hunger. Torn between rebellion and the faint echo of something once holy, Cain walks through millennia watching civilizations rise, corrupt themselves, and fall.
When the world finally collapses into apocalypse, a mysterious man named Angelus appears, carrying a burden that may redeem mankind or end it forever.
A creative retelling that melds fantasy with well known biblical stories. A compelling story of trickery, revenge, and redemption. Cain presents with a surprising depth and range of emotion that feels all too human.

#1 Best Seller in Brazil
Perfect for readers who love biblical speculative fiction, mythic retellings, apocalyptic horror, and morally complex characters, this is not a traditional vampire story. It is a dark, philosophical epic about the first curse and the last days of humanity.
