THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ROMANTASY NOVEL IS COMING FALL 2027!

EDENFALL romantasy fantasy romance adventure novel

An exciting new historical fantasy romance about a fierce female Robin Hood tasked with breaking into the Garden of Eden to save the mortal world. It’s a spicy and feminist twist on Mesopotamian/ biblical mythology like Terror at the Gates (Scarlett St. Clair), with an unapologetic Middle Eastern heroine in a morally complex adventure like HEIR (Sabbaa Tahir), with the slow-burn, heavy banter romance of Heavenly Bodies (Imani Erriu). 

 

Keva Alakko, a devout thief who secretly worships the forbidden gods of Eden, steals from the heretics building the War Tower of Babel — a weapon meant to challenge the very deities she reveres. She uses the stolen riches to feed her starving refugee community. When the gods destroy the tower, Keva’s best friend is mortally wounded. With her final breath, she entrusts Keva with a divine tablet and a sacred prophecy, swearing her to deliver them to Eden before the god of death and darkness, Nergal, conquers it. Should she fail, the gods' war would destroy her and everyone she loves. 

 

Hunted by Nergal and his emissaries, Keva is forced into a precarious alliance with Prince Shamash, the arrogant heir of the heretic regime that murdered her parents. But their uneasy partnership soon burns into something neither of them can ignore, and Keva is left questioning not only her feelings but her very identity, as the tablets dismantle everything Keva’s ever believed about the gods. Each revelation shakes her faith, challenges her convictions, and threatens to unravel who she is. 

When Nergal abducts Keva and traps her in the Underworld, she must face the forbidden truths hidden in the tablets and decide what she is willing to sacrifice: her faith, her heart, or the world itself.

EDENFALL

For Readers Who Want...

​

Enemies who absolutely should not be falling for each other

A slow-burn romance loaded with tension, banter, attraction, and terrible decision-making.

​

Ancient gods with dangerous agendas

Divine politics, forbidden worship, monsters, prophecy, the Underworld, and gods who have no intention of staying out of mortal affairs.

​

A heroine who steals from the powerful

Keva is a thief, survivor, believer, rebel, and a little bit of a menace—with a Robin Hood streak that keeps getting her into trouble.

 

A morally complicated enemy prince

Prince Shamash represents everything Keva has been taught to hate. Getting close to him would be dangerous even if she weren't supposed to despise him.

 

Mythology you don't see in every fantasy novel

EDENFALL draws inspiration from ancient Mesopotamian and biblical mythology, including the gods of the ancient Near East, the Garden of Eden, the Tower of Babel, and the Underworld.

 

Romance with the door wide open

This is not a fade-to-black love story. EDENFALL is written for adult romance and romantasy readers who enjoy heat alongside emotional intimacy, yearning, and romantic payoff.

Get To Know Edenfall Characters

Meet Keva

Thief. Heretic. Believer. Reluctant savior.

Keva Alakko has spent years stealing from the people who destroyed her family and quietly helping those their regime left behind.

She knows how to lie.

She knows how to steal.

What she does not know is why the gods seem to have chosen her—or why the enemy she should despise is becoming impossible to ignore.

​

Meet Shamash

Prince. Heir. Enemy. Complication.

Prince Shamash is tied to the regime Keva hates, which should make the rules very simple:

Do not trust him.

Do not need him.

And under absolutely no circumstances fall for him.

The gods, unfortunately, have other plans.
