Rise of the First Woman — Mark Bousquet

Imagine that you woke up this morning transformed into your childhood dream. Now imagine that possibility given form across our entire world. That is the New World, a planet of living Dreams and awoken Nightmares. After the events of INTO THE NEW WORLD and the battle against the Son of Satan, the Kingdom of New England is determined to get on with their lives, but Damien's Pyrrhic victory has a consequence no one imagined - God's Prison has cracked open and the First Woman has tumbled into our world. RISE OF THE FIRST WOMAN details Lilith's first steps into reforming the Eighth Day, a band of revolutionists who sought to overthrow God in the days before the serpent visited Eden. Lilith targets several of our companion as potential allies. A Writer, a Painter, a Pirate, and an Ex-Parrot are all tempted, and at least one of them will give their loyalty to the woman in the golden mask.
