Exploring Eden is a supernatural murder mystery style fantasy following the titular character Eden Grace as she escapes from an abusive home life in a cult and begins to find her way in “normal” society, despite seeing ghosts on a regular basis.
Eden Grace has never been normal. Born into a cult, Eden starts to explore possibilities beyond demon possession as an explanation for her strange abilities when she finds herself hospitalized in a mental institution. Eden has strange dreams, visions, and sees the spirits of the dead. Faced with the possibility of returning to her tumultuous home or running into the unknown, she chooses a life on the run. Beginning her adult life, she finally begins to get some answers as she tries to unpack and set down roots. As Eden’s luck would have it, just when she begins to develop relationships with people she can trust, strange circumstances cause her to dig deeper into who she is and what is happening around her.
A fate uncovered, a love discovered, and a war between heaven and hell.
First Edition Revised to correct formatting issues and edited for improvement. Content and plot of the book remains the same as First Edition. Preview of Eden Arising added.
Life has been forever altered for Eden Grace and her closest friends. Following a confrontation with the demon Azazel, they frantically learn everything they can about what it means to be Nephilim, the children of angels. Eden and Journey learn to wield deadly powers from Death himself before a group of mysterious strangers arrive and ask them to join the Order of Equipoise, a group of people determined to keep the earth a neutral ground between heaven and hell. Azazel continues his mission of overthrowing both heaven and hell, sending his agents of destruction after Eden and her found family.
Eden and her friends have to make a choice, accept that fate has a plan for all of them and join the Order, or try to work it all out on their own. It seems that the more they learn, the less they know. Through every attack they encounter, their bonds with the members of the Order become stronger. Friendships and more are forged with fire and battle as they work together to save the earth and all of humanity from a potential war between heaven and hell.
Will they be able to stop Azazel and his followers in time? Can they trust the people they have allied with? Will there ever be a chance at a normal life? Eden and her friends desperately want answers.
The last two years of Eden’s life had been as much of a whirlwind disaster as they were wonderful in other ways. She’d found a family of people like her, but while they fought for the fate of humanity, she’d lost some of them along the way.
She needed a plan and a pathway to getting Jayse and Journey back before it’s too late. First things first, she needed to figure out what to do with the prisoner she never wanted in the first place. Somewhere between managing the deconditioning of a brainwashed captive and finishing her paramedic program, Eden needed to also plan a wedding without losing it entirely.
Her sister and brother-in-law were still missing and assumed dead, but there may be hope yet. If Eden could find her father's scythe and wield it, she could take on the mantle of Death. If she becomes the next scion of her angelic father, could she bring all those she's lost back? And will it cost her more of her humanity in the process? Can she win this war against Heaven and Hell to save humanity? She doesn't know if she can, but she is willing to become something else entirely, to become the Lady of Shadows, death incarnate, to try.
Fate Uncovered, a Love Discovered, and a War between Heaven and Hell.
It all Ends at Dawn.
