Eden's Rise

Signed by the author!

In New Eden, where emotions are controlled and authenticity is forbidden, Ziva and Myall find themselves on the edge of defiance. Ziva, a rebellious Technician, and Myall, a conflicted Compliance Monitor, uncover a secret that awakens a longing neither thought possible. As their forbidden connection deepens, each hidden encounter becomes an exhilarating act of resistance. But with danger closing in and their world beginning to fracture, they must risk everything to break free from the chains of conformity and awaken a society lost to its own suppression. Can Ziva and Myall’s love spark a revolution, or will they be crushed by the very system they dare to defy?

Eden's Rise is the first book in an interconnected trilogy. While each book is intended to be read as a standalone, with a different 'couple' featured in each book, the overarching dystopian storyline will continue across the trilogy. It's is a slow-burn dystopian romance with strong psychological themes, subtle worldbuilding, and a relationship that begins in survival mode. It starts with emotional attachment—then slowly deepens into earned love. The characters are emotionally guarded, hesitant, and messy—on purpose. The story explores raw vulnerability, inner conflict, and what it means to grow into love while learning how to feel.

If you’re looking for emotionally complex characters and romance built in survival, not certainty—this book is for you.
