For one thousand years, the Empire of Eden has dominated the universe. With their endless armies and the deadly warriors known as the Enforcers, no world has ever been able to stand up to the tyrannical invaders... until now. On one of the Outerworlds, Gahldor, the most recent planet to fall under Edenyte rule, a young man named Hiytax starts on a journey to discover the secret history, and hopefully, hidden weakness, of the seemingly invincible Empire. With help from the resilient rebellion known as the Unleashed, and an incredible warrior named Aliorah, Hiytax will travel the universe, exploring new and mysterious worlds in pursuit of a way to defeat the Empire of Eden. All the while, the heroes must evade the terrifying Enforcers and their malevolent leader, Mr. Bedlam, or else their dream of a free universe will be lost forever.

Odyssey of Eden

	The drop ship plummeted to the surface of Ildra faster than Hiytax ever imagined anything could move. The ship groan and creaked and the metal began to splinter as Hiytax’s eyes remained fixed on the viewscreen. He was unable to look away from the blinding flames scorching the exterior of their craft as it tore through the planet’s atmosphere. The sheer force of the freefall was keeping Hiytax pressed firmly against the door of the drop ship. Every instinct in his body told him he needed to move away from the doors, in case they ripped open during the descent, but the pressure was too great, and despite feeling as though he were moving every muscle in his body, trying to move to a safer position, he remained securely fixed against the doors of the doomed ship. Only after Hiytax realized that there was no “safer place” to move to did he feel even the slightest iota of relief from his fear.
