Origin

by J.A. Edwards

Were gods and goddesses real, or simply delusional rumors born of a fractured mind? Kayin is a farmer and forger who longs to recreate bronze, metal of the immortals. His passions are for the ground he works and the fires of his forge. Time and maturity brings a new passion, Azura, who is promised to his younger brother. Decisions are made and actions are taken. Kayin's life is forever altered, as is his physical appearance and the psychological balance of his mind. Kayin is forced to leave his family and home, to live alone with the realization that he is no longer the man he once was. Origin is a historical fiction/fantasy novel that gives an inside look into the minds, emotions and life struggles of the early inhabitants of the world. Myth, legend and fact are woven into a believable and colorful tapestry known as humanity.
