Forth from Eden
Michael Christiansen is perfectly fine with his life in Eden, Idaho. But when a strange, old scholar by the name of Abe Augustine presents him with a job offer as a research assistant, he accepts. Soon, however, he finds the task is much larger than anything he's ever experienced before. Abe reveals that the job is a mission to create paradise in society, and soon Mike finds himself faced with enchanted emblems, time travel, and undiscovered utopias.
The mission leads them to fifth-century Britain - a world flowing with blood and tears, where ghosts of the past intermingle with monsters of the present. It is here that they are to achieve paradise, but things do not work out as planned. Indeed, Mike's journey forth from Eden throws out echoes of the great unexpected, but he discovers their sounds can be harmonious even in a land bent on discord.
