Forth from Eden — Mark Stay

Michael Christensen is perfectly content with his life in Eden, Idaho. But when a strange, old scholar by the name of Abe presents him with a job opportunity, he accepts. Soon, however, he discovers that the job is much larger than he could have expected. Abe reveals that it is a mission to create utopia, and soon Mike finds himself entangled in obscure mythologies, enchanted emblems, and lost civilizations. The mission leads them to fifth-century Britain - a land entrenched in darkness and uncertainty - where ghosts of the past collide with monsters of the present. It is here that they are to achieve paradise, and things do not go as planned. Mike's journey throws out echoes of the great unexpected, but he discovers that their tones can be harmonious, even in a land bent on discord.
