Requiem for Eden by
The Eden series continues! Now in the hugely successful Bitesize Read format! Thrilling 1 hour episodes. "A edge-of-your-seat Saturday matinee!" With Lucid’s invasion driven back to the Dark Continent and his attempt to take over The Other Place thwarted, Eden should be the tranquil haven it was meant to be. If only… Like the flap of a butterfly’s wing, the storm that threatens to engulf Eden is started by as single, apparently insignificant decision. The triple cities of Trinity needs a hero and they think they have found Woe and his sister, Anella to fill the hero vacancy. But they have no idea just what they have found. And the Norsemen are coming. Requiem for Eden is an adventure that will built to a 10-Episode Box Set. Each Episode is a 1-hour story complete with a beginning, middle and end. And a cliff-hanger, in the true tradition of the Matinee genre.
