In Eden, there is no hunger, no illness, no night. Every desire is met before you can feel it. For the newest arrival, Liora, this flawless utopia should be everything promised. But light without a source, skies without shadow, and a horizon that seems to shimmer with something unspoken make her wonder if perfection has a cost.

Jonas has been here longer—long enough to notice the cracks others pretend not to see. The orchard’s glass fruit, the Archive’s curated memories, the vanishing of people mid-conversation—each detail pulls him closer to a truth no one will admit aloud. He’s learned one thing in this place: in Eden, forgetting is as dangerous as remembering.

Drawn together by the unnameable wrongness in the air, Liora and Jonas begin to search for what lies beyond the orchard’s edge, the reflection pool’s glassy surface, and the rules Cassian, Eden’s serene guide, recites like scripture. But Eden watches. And Eden learns.

As the seams of reality begin to fracture—light breaking into panels, laughter with no visible source—they are pulled toward the heart of a design that was never meant for them. Someone, or something, is in control. Someone who refuses to let go.

In a world where paradise resets without warning, and every loop rewrites what you know about yourself, the question is no longer what’s real.

It’s whether you’ll be allowed to remember it.

What would you risk to escape a perfect life that isn’t yours?
