Hundreds of years after a global catastrophe known as "The Time of Forgetting" halted mankind’s technological progress, a new army has risen to conquer the scattered peoples of the Earth. Two brothers, Nitcef and Venitcen, capture a writing pad from the enemy and flee with their village to Rai Ver While, a city under the protection of Zanine, their tribe’s only Sky Person. Only Sarsa, Zanine’s granddaughter, knows what the writing pad represents. The ability to write is the ability to control the ancestors’ technology.

This Falling Eden is a futuristic twist on the Tower of Babel story, set in an Edenic world where it’s said Noah talked God out of flooding the Earth. The force of mankind’s one language had increased with each generation, until the powers of writing and speech became the power to create and destroy, to dominate one another, and to fashion themselves into gods. Now, as the enemy advances into the world’s highest mountains and Rai Ver While falls under siege, Sarsa and her allies execute a bold plan to travel the conquered Earth and find the City of Falling Water, where the Time of Forgetting began.

And where it may begin again.
