Elle. Her name contained her destiny. Elle. She. The original Her. Woman. The second woman in history with the power to derail it.

No one knew exactly why the relentless Ancient Villain had selected this particular

modern mortal to finish the curse he had begun in the Garden over 5,000 years earlier.

Or why Rafar, Eden’s most awe-inspiring descendant of Adam’s forgotten immortal

tribe, had been sent to save her, then fallen under the spell of this mortal temptress he

was forbidden to love. But at stake now was far more than Rafar's supernatural

existence should he fail to overcome the Enemy's latest seductive temptation.

The eternal residence of every soul on Earth would soon hinge on Rafar's success in

resisting his unholy, derailing passion for Elle, before she could step through a tear in

the Curtain of Time carrying a stolen genetic secret from the Tree of Life.

The secret of eternal life.

Only the ancient residents of Eden, its hauntingly timeless ghosts, knew the awful truth.

That once unlocked, such diabolical knowledge would not rescue humans from their

date with Death, but merely imprison their souls inside claustrophobic physical

bodies—forever.

Coming soon, should Rafar and his ageless siblings fail—was a literal Hell on Earth.

And so, Eden held its breath, as an Immortal who had walked the planet since the

beginning of time, teetered between centuries of duty and a modern seduction. Even

Heaven leaned in, waiting to see if Rafar would ultimately choose his love for Elle, or an

eternity without her.
