What this book is about
Edenfall is a young adult science fiction novel about the end of paradise—and the price of discovery—on a distant world. Sixteen years after Genesis Earth, Michael and Terra’s children have grown up in isolation, far from any human civilization. When a military expedition arrives from Earth to investigate the planet’s strange anomaly, their peaceful world begins to unravel.
Estee Anderson, a teenage girl who has never known human society, is sent into hiding with a secret that could change everything. As a ruthless general seizes power and the mysterious “ghost ship” turns violent, Estee must join forces with a young lieutenant, Khalil, to save her family and uncover the truth about her world, before it is lost forever.
