The Silence We Raised (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798266723047)

"Where is your brother?"

Before the nations. Before kings and laws. There was a family. And there was a wound that never healed.

In a land still damp with creation, two brothers are born: Abel, gentle and full of wonder, and Cain, firstborn and restless, shadowed by expectation. Their parents, Adam and Eve, carry their own quiet grief-haunted by the paradise they lost, and the burden of raising sons in a world broken too soon.

What begins as a story of soil and sacrifice becomes something far darker when envy takes root. One act shatters what little peace remains, leaving Abel's body in a field, and Cain marked by exile.

The Silence We Raised retells the oldest fratricide through a lens of sorrow and humanity-grief without villainy, exile without redemption, and silence that speaks louder than any voice. Told with mythic beauty and emotional precision, this novella explores the unraveling of the world's first family and the ache that lingers long after blood soaks the soil.

Perfect for readers of Madeline Miller, Anita Diamant, or early J.K. Rowling, this is a story about what it means to lose-your child, your brother, your home-and what remains after.
