Protector of Eden

Sixteen-year-old Serina has always had a gift-she can sense the energies left behind by objects, especially old houses that seem to whisper their secrets to her. But when a great-great-grandmother she never knew passes away, leaving her a mysterious plantation home deep in the Louisiana bayous, Serina finds herself drawn to it like never before. Her mother's silence about the family estate only deepens her curiosity. Why had her grandmother been erased from family history? Why did no one ever speak of this place, and why does the very mention of it fill the air with unease?

Venturing to Louisiana, Serina is thrust into a hidden world, one where an ancient battle between protectors and dark, demonic forces has raged since the dawn of time. With evil rising and the balance of good and evil at stake, Serina must confront her destiny as a protector of Eden's pure souls-a role she never imagined for herself.

But with her newfound powers come challenges. As Serina trains to embrace the strength within her, she finds her heart conflicted. A boy from a world vastly different from her own has stolen her affections, but in a time when trust is fragile and danger lurks at every turn, can she truly rely on him? As the battle intensifies, Serina must rise above her doubts, protect the innocent, and decide if love is worth the risk when the fate of so many hangs in the balance.
