If heaven lay in blissful ignorance would you live in Hell? It's the end of the world, or at least that's what the strange protesters in the Sumar University quad are claiming. Xavier Micheals has heard one too many apocalypse prediction to let talk of the rapture scare him, but he cannot deny that something strange has settled onto the campus, if not the entire world. Strange occurrences start small, like a trashed lecture hall. Soon though, mysterious suited agents have descended upon the campus. Not to mention the strange boy who lives in the library, and the weird behaviour of his two closest friends. Something is going on, and Xavier feels as if he is the only one asking questions. Little does he know, he is in the eye of the coming storm. A tale of free will, Paradise Made is a twisted look at biblical mythology.

The world has been twisted into a nightmarish reality. Death is imminent, leering closer. A howling wind whistles eerily, echoing. The sun has faded into a colourless grey, no longer the brilliant orb that should chase off the darkness. It has faded out, leaving you for dead. Moonlight spills from the sky. Shadows lunge. The streets are drenched in darkness, cloaked with fear. In a blink, your light can be extinguished. They can't see you, but they can feel your panicked heartbeats... Which cease when they are stolen. * Raina will never forget the moment her life became a wretched reality. The moment her parents were pitched into the void. She will never forget the tears shed as she and Ella realized that they were alone in this horrid place. Nor will she forget the piercing pain of the lightning bolt, the scars that curve along her skin. They give her the Light.
