Araminta has always believed Picarel Island was paradise—the last safe haven in a ruined world. With her rare extrasensory abilities, she’s devoted her life to helping rebuild what humanity lost alongside her fellow gifted residents.

But when her long-vanished caretaker washes ashore, babbling incoherently and failing to recognize her, Minta’s perfect world shatters. The caretaker is swiftly seized by the island’s ruthless protectorate, led by Fletcher—a man whose contempt for Minta runs deep, and whose unwanted attention now follows her every move.

As buried truths claw their way to the surface, Minta begins to see the cracks in Picarel’s shining facade. Lies unravel. Loyalties shift. And the sanctuary she’s always trusted may be the deadliest trap of all.

Because when Eden falls. . . there is no place left to run.
