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

	“This is Lakira?” Mr. Bedlam looks around at the mossy grassland stretching out around them. 


	Genevieve laughs, “Well it has been quite some time since you’ve been here. Things were bound to change.”


	Mr. Bedlam rolls off the makeshift transport Genevieve had been carrying him on and slowly brings himself to his feet, “I thought we sent colonists out here.”


	Genevieve looks straight ahead and motions for Mr. Bedlam to keep following her, “We did.”


	Mr. Bedlam limps at a quickened pace until he is walking side by side with Genevieve. He eyes her, prompting further elaboration on her previous statement. Genevieve sighs in an almost bored way, “Underdwellers kept eating people.”


	Mr. Bedlam shrugged the answer off as though it weren’t good enough. Genevieve rolled her eyes at him as she explained, “We only needed to harvest fresh water. We put pumps in place and a few times a year Controllers pick up the stored water and deliver it across the Empire.”
