Nineteen-year-old Genevieve’s life has been preordained for her and all the other young women who reside in Eden, a land bestowed upon its citizens by the Creator Himself. However, the idea of devoting herself entirely to the vocation of wife and mother doesn’t sit well with Genevieve, especially when protests begin to interrupt Eden’s immutable society and shed light on a dark moment in its history. Despite the growing turmoil Genevieve’s grandparents, who she has lived with since she was one year old, arranges a new courtship for Genevieve that unintentionally sets her on a path to learn more about Eden’s past and its connection to her parents’ unexplained absence. 

When a mysterious gate reveals itself to Genevieve she is pulled away from Eden’s illustrious light and into Misery, a kingdom of never-ending darkness, where she meets an intriguing celestial named Azrael. After stealing his journal Genevieve discovers he harbors a past of heartache and loss similar to her own and the two are drawn together in a way neither could have anticipated.

A powerful debut fantasy set in a lush landscape tainted by the seeds of veiled truths, societal upheaval and shifting loyalties where one young woman has to decide if she is going to risk a life of comfort and security in order to follow her heart, explore her freedom and live life on her own terms.
