Overview

The planet Eden orbits on the edge of the Milky Way. A pristine world of volcanos, oceans, thick forests, and wild grasslands, its unique species have evolved untroubled by visitors. It is a planet devoid of technology but teaming with life. But its isolation is over. Humans are spreading through the stars, sacrificing their own gods to escape a dying Earth. They bring a wealth of experience gleaned from survival on many planets and advanced technologies to traverse interstellar space. Supporting them is a colony ship sentient in her own right and with her own agenda. For them, Eden is another home, a respite from their crowded worlds, an escape for those fleeing their old lives. Amongst them are survivors, innovators, farmers, and scientists. Ivan has escaped the brutal mines of Novgorod, searching for a life of sunlight and freedom. Drummer is running from himself, fleeing wealth and shame, hoping to learn who he really is. Fable thought she left leadership behind. Burnt out on academia and disgusted with politics, she finds herself the accidental leader of the first humans on Eden. The Abeona is tasked with keeping her passengers safe, not only from new threats but from the dark history of humanity itself. But they are not alone. An ancient, cunning, shapeshifting creature arrived before them. Sailing across the uncrossable voids, escaping the slow destruction of her own galaxy, she has laid her eggs on Eden. Now she watches, biding her time with a violent and devious history all her own. Conqueror and refugee, she is older than humanity itself with knowledge and weapons they can only imagine. As these powerful races, each unknown to the other struggle to survive, to grow, to find a home in this new world, they gradually become aware of the others existence. Is conflict inevitable? Will each revert to their warlike past? Can these two advanced species survive and share a planet that has no need of either?
