Whispers of Eden
Not yet published
Expected 19 Mar 26Whispers of Eden offers a high-stakes blend of contemporary fantasy, romance, adventure, and hints of science fiction.
Twenty-five-year-old Valerie had it all: a loving family, a doting fiancé, and a stable career. Then a state-mandated ceremony exposed her as an ovinag: a social menace, doomed to evil. Assassins now stalk her every move.
As her execution date nears, Valerie uses her magic stealing ability to portal jump to Eden—a reclusive planet harboring legendary monsters. There she meets a man… with secrets of his own.
When ominous threats follow Valerie to Eden, her protector yearns to keep her safe. But burning the world would only breed more enemies.
Torn between survival, social upheaval, and saving other ovinags, Valerie must decide whom she can trust. She may not only doom everyone she holds dear, but put all of Eden at risk.

Review of advance copy received from Author
3.5 stars. What a debut! There’s plenty of heart and some truly unique world-building here. I really loved how this author writes imperfect relationships—so often fated mates can feel forced or fake, but this one felt grounded and real. I enjoyed the portal travel, and there were lots of fresh twists on common tropes and fantasy creatures. That said, the book felt like it was missing something, even though I can’t quite put my finger on what. I did struggle at times to keep reading, but for a debut, this is a strong start. There’s a small amount of spice, written open-door but non-graphic, which may suit readers looking for more romantic focus and less explicit content.
