Deceptive Cadence

A modern retelling of the biblical fable of Cain and Abel, this elegant novella explores the emotional journey of a person driven to violence by love.

After the death of their parents, Kein had to take on adult responsibilities, including care of his younger brother, Ethan, as they both pursue their studies at the prestigious Institute of Music. Kein can't help but resent Ethan for having the chance to be a normal teenager, while he himself has to be an unwilling caregiver. As he tries to juggle his responsibilities with his own needs, the last thing on his mind is love, yet he finds it unexpectedly in his new piano instructor, Adonai. Further burdened by coming face to face with his own sexuality and drowning in his unresolved trauma, Kein is not prepared to find out that his brother is in love with Adonai, too. As Ethan pursues his interest in a way Kein simply cannot, the brotherly relationship comes under extreme strain.
