Synopsis

Book Two
Fall of Eden
Myths are but shadows of a greater truth.

Fall of Eden is the second book in the epic trilogy, the Healing Crystal, suitable for ages 14+.

This book continues to follow the band of young Survinees as they are forced from their home by Narvin, a madman who desires the Healing Crystal no matter the cost. As the story unfolds questions also unfold:

At just sixteen, can Kairma protect her band of refugees from Narvin as he chases them through deserts and mountains and protect them from each other when the true nature of the crystal is revealed?

Will the rogue Colin win Kairma or be forever banned from her by religious law, by his wanderlust ways, or by the evil carried in Kairma's blood?

Will Kinter forever lie in the shadow of her sister Kairma or will a twist of fate bring her almost everything but what she most desires?

With the death of their companions will Naturi once again lose his father to depression, and, when the true nature of the crystal is revealed, as one's faith crumbles and the other's is renewed, will the gulf between them become impossible to cross?

Will Zedic and Trep ever see home and the women they love again?And what of the colony of Survin and those left behind?

Fall of Eden received the Editor's Choice award and Heir to Power, the first book in this epic trilogy received the Top Choice award from Flamingnet, a national YA book site.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

Myths are but shadows of a greater truth.

What is the Healing Crystal and who is the rightful heir? Is it a religious object or a powerful weapon? Does it belong to a fallen line of kings or to the colonists of Survin? Should its fate be left in the hands of the young and inexperienced Kairma or to Narvin, the last descendent of a line of kings?

Kairma holds the Crystal and believes she will become the next leader of Survin, while her younger sister Kinter, believes she, not Kairma, is the rightful heir. Narvin believes the Healing Crystal is the Star of Genesis, a powerful relic his ancestors have been seeking for centuries.
Determined to possess the object that will return him to his glory, Narvin is unwavering in his quest to possess it, and Kairma is caught in a fierce race across barren deserts and rugged mountains to a shattering finish where the winner must decide the fate of the world.
