Thousands of years ago, a twisted serpent tricked a woman into eating the fruit of a forbidden tree. And it all started with a serpent. ~*~*~*~*~*~ On a mission to run away from home, Victoria Parker 'accidentally' meets a young boy her age (although, in her opinion, accidents do not happen), named Baelfire, with hair the color of a dying fire's ash. He's on a quest to find out if a biblical setting of myth truly is real, and to prove it. The mystery of the Garden of Eden is real, he says, and creatures exist there that have never been seen by mankind before because of Adam and Eve's folly. Baelfire is blind. Not by choice. With his scientist parents dead from a deadly laboratory accident, involving the near creation of a radioactive power source strong enough to wipe the entire United States off the face of the Earth, Baelfire barely got out alive. Just in time, his parents safely managed to hide Baelfire before the bomb exploded, but his life also cost him his sight, and his family. Baelfire immediately recognizes that Victoria is an important key to the mystery of the Garden of Eden, but her heart has turned cold and she refuses to open up about her past to him. He suspects she's being tormented by the demons of previous experiences, and those experiences are blocking the way to the Garden of Eden, for the Creator only allowed the pure of heart to reach it. Victoria has the unbelievable skill and talent to lead Baelfire straight to the core of one of the most sought-after mysteries of all time. If they do get there, what is there to say something is not lying in wait, waiting for a chance at revenge? What if the Serpent is dead set on destroying the Creator and all his Creations for what he did to the Serpent? What if he succeeds? What then? The end of the world is coming. And both Victoria and Baelfire know it.
