Leora has never known hunger, fear, or want.
In a world shaped by the careful hand of the Garden and its Keeper, everything she needs is given before she can ask. The seasons bloom without change. The paths are safe. The rules are unspoken—but absolute.
When Theren arrives, born of the same Garden and bound by its promises, Leora believes she has found the balance she was meant to share eternity with. Together, they are cherished. Protected. Watched.
But the Garden holds secrets of its own.
Drawn back to a forgotten place where decay and beauty coexist, Leora begins to sense what the Garden never named: desire, curiosity, and the dangerous power of choice. As the world tightens around her questions, she must decide what she is willing to lose for truth—and whether love can survive awakening. Because paradise is not the same as freedom.
And this time, “Eve” will not be tempted.
This time, she will choose.
