On New Eden, even a child can be stoned into the demon wasteland.
***Spoiler alert*** If you haven’t read book 1.
It’s been eighteen years since the stranger-eve Althaia chose to die in freedom. Nineteen years since her son was born. Raised as a prince and heir to the throne, Simon believes Chairman William to be his father. And William has almost forgotten that he is not.
Simon has spent his life under close scrutiny by the Church, hiding the supernatural abilities that he inherited from Althaia, living with the constant threat of exposure and death. Yet, as the prince grew into manhood, the priests failed to realize that Simon’s piety had become a pretense and his attitude rebellious.
Now Simon plots to use his special gifts to destroy the Church and become sole tyrant over New Eden, and he’ll stop at nothing to achieve that ambition ─no matter who gets in his way. For behind his secret abilities lies a darker secret: a malevolent energy that Simon himself is not even aware of.
Could there be something to fear from the strangers after all?
When Robert Bountiful, Simon’s real father, uncovers some startling facts about Althaia, an ancient secret is revealed and he must face the painful truth about his son. As the prince sinks further into darkness, his deeds more appalling, his state of mind more unstable, Robert finally takes action. But is it too late to save his son from the sinister forces overtaking him– and from Simon’s own dark desires?
For fans who love dystopian scifi with dark fantasy, well-developed characters, and a mix of intrigue, action, and betrayal ─with a dash of romance.
