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

	Genevieve leads Aliorah and Hiytax inside the odd structure. As they pass through what Hiytax is fairly certain is the doorway, he can no longer prevent himself from asking, “Do you live here?”


	Genevieve glances back and smiles at Hiytax, but there is something in her eyes that makes him uncomfortable, “Why do you ask?”


	Hiytax shrugs off the discomfort, “Just, someone with your resources… living in a glorified sandcastle…” Hiytax looks around and gestures globally with his hands, “Seems strange.”


	Aliorah elbows him in the stomach. Hiytax doubles over and darts an apologetic look to Aliorah. Aliorah smiles and quickens her pace to keep up with Genevieve, “What Hiytax means to say is that we love your home.”


	Genevieve smiles again, this time, however, Hiytax sees more warmth in it, “You children are adorable… it’s not my dwelling. I’m just staying here. I knew I could count on Nathaniel to lead you here. Where is he?”
