Publisher's summary

It’s a story as old as time. Cain and Abel, Adam and Eve. A family. A murder. A reckoning. Good and evil personified. You may think you know the story, but you’d be wrong.

After thousands of years, Cain awakens to find that the world has gone on without him. In his slumber, humans and people of power have stopped being afraid of, well, anything. Beyond that, they’ve become cruel for cruelty’s sake, fascinated with their ability to spread death through famine, war, and even plagues. In their minds, they have no equal.

They’re wrong.

Thanks to the Norns, his brother’s treachery, his sadistic stepmother, and abusive father, Cain has been out of the loop far too long. But that’s about to change. Now, he must reconcile his past with his present and complete a near-impossible task to find the peace he’s sought for so long. Before that can be a reality, he’ll need to walk the fine line between monster and man. Too much of one and not the other will release a plague upon the world. And there will be blood. Lots of it.

Can he fight his baser nature long enough to do what needs to be done, or will fate get the better of him in the end?

wow

The narrator for this book was very hard to listen to. I cant believe I finished it.

Great, once again!

Mr Lange keeps building out his world, introducing more mythical characters while adding to his already established characters and mythos. Looking forward to the next one!

Great Continuation

Really like this book But coming from the other books the gay Element threw me off a bit but out side of that love the book tho

Great start to a series!

I really enjoyed this story. Lots of good old-fashioned violence and action. The melding of Christian and Norse legends with science fiction worthy technology and Urban Fantasy was really well done. The narration was excellent, and I binge-listened in two days.

Great new series!

Dawning is a new great series by Ken Lange set in the same world as his Vigiles Urbani Chronicles and his Warden Global series, and it is just as good! Each series has it's own unique main character that is based on a character from one religion/mythology or another. No, these are NOT religious in any way, They are Sci-Fi / Fantasy. The main character in Dawning is Cain, like in the Bible, son of Adam and Eve. This is NOT the Cain you'd expect! Adam and Eve are in it, Lilith too. Still not what you'd expect though! Such a great book and I highly recommend Lange's other books! Doesn't matter which series you listen to first. They are all set in the same world and the characters do get a brief mention in each other's series. All well worth the listen, Dawning is no exception! Great narration by Andrew Pond!

Earth Shattering!

From the mind of Ken Lang comes a brilliant story full of heart pounding action and a plot that will blow your mind. Andrew Pond does a fantastic job with his narration and his transition from character to character is almost perfect. This is a must read for any fan of this genre or anyone just looking for a good read.

Wow like really WOW!

Absolutely loved this book. It is a wild ride all the way through. As soon as I thought I could see what was coming, I'd quickly find out I was wrong!

IDK..

It was all I could do to finish this book. The concept was good it's lacking so much that the fight was on not to return it..
