It’s been four years since Chris Arlin graduated
with a degree in cryptobotany, and she’s still no
closer to scraping up funding for her research into
rare plants. Instead, she’s stacking shelves at the
campus library, until a suspiciously well-dressed
man offers her a lucrative position on a scientific
expedition.
For Chris, the problem isn’t the fact that they’re
searching for the Biblical Tree of Life. Nor is it
the fact that most of the individuals on the
expedition seem to be fashionably lethal
mercenaries. The problem is that the mission is
being backed by SinaCorp, the corporation
responsible for a similar, failed expedition on
which her mother died eleven years ago.
However, when Chris’s father is unexpectedly
diagnosed with an incurable illness, Chris sees only
one solution. Vowing to find the Tree of Life before
SinaCorp’s mercenaries, Chris recruits Luke, an
antisocial campus priest undergoing a crisis of
faith. Together, they embark on a desperate race to
find Eden.
However, as the hunt intensifies, Chris discovers
growing evidence of her mother’s strange behaviour
before her death, and she begins to realise that
SinaCorp isn’t the only one with secrets they want
to stay buried.
“An intelligent
and riveting read that packs action and adventure
with intellect and science. Best summed up as Dan
Brown meets Indiana Jones.”

Lost
in a Good Book
"There are explosions
of creative genius in so many of the tiny details...
There are scenes of marvellous beauty and great
unhappiness and waste. It seems astonishing that
this is her first novel."

for a very talented writer."

FableCroft Publishing
"A ripping good yarn
sure to please readers who enjoy mysteries, legends,
and overcoming the burden of hard choices."
- Darby
Karchut, The Griffin Series
"A witty adventure
laced with sneak-attack humor, intrepid heroes, and
dogged villains. As if Douglas Adams had written the
DaVinci Code with a female lead who has the heart of
Indiana Jones and little need for bullwhip or gun."
