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

	Aliorah pried open a loose piece of metal. She put her shoulder behind the corner she was able to pull away from the wall and shoved it once, twice, three times, until finally the gap became wide enough to slip through. Hiytax stood nearly back-to-back with Aliorah, watching the road along the city wall to make sure no Edenytes spotted them as they attempted to sneak into Romeneth. 


	“Maybe this is a bad time,” Hiytax had a questioning tone in his voice.


	Aliorah interrupted him before he could even begin to form whatever his question was, “Definitely the worst time,” Aliorah curtly responded as she began to wedge herself through the unreasonably tight opening.


	Hiytax all but completely ignored Aliorah’s reservations and asked his question anyway, “Why haven’t we seen any animals?”
