FALL TO EDEN

An Apocalyptic Fantasy

By Katherine Padilla

Benefactor or invader? Messiah or anti-Christ? Descendant of the Son of God or emissary of Satan? Alien emperor Tohmazz Zarr is on a mission to save his nation from extinction and has found new followers on Earth. While Earth prepares for invasion by Zarr's enemies, Sara Alexander defies her parents and the leaders of her church to join a colony led by world-renowned organizational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Carroll, whose goal is to create a community of holiness on an uninhabited planet named Eden.

Before Sara leaves Earth, her father reveals that they are originally from a planet called Novaun and gives her his arelada, the mysterious crystal that will allow her to communicate with Eden's planet-spirit should the colony find itself assaulted by storms, earthquakes, and other extreme forces of nature.

Devoted to Dr. Carroll's son, Sara is unaware that Carroll, himself, has developed an attraction for her. Sara's relationship with Carroll ignites passion that throws the colony into chaos. When Eden's planet-spirit begins reacting violently to what it perceives as the colonists' unrighteous behavior, even Sara's Novaunian knowledge and arelada crystal may not be enough to save the colony from destruction.
