In a future where Earth stands on the verge of ecological collapse, all hope was pinned on “Icarus”, a terraforming project with the aim of creating a new home for humanity on a distant planet. 

"But something went horribly wrong, and Doctor Susan Reach barely escaped the disaster with her life. She now finds herself in a mysterious garden under the care of the Elysians, genetically enhanced humans who departed Earth for their own utopia centuries before.

"But is she in a hospital? Or a prison? After meeting Lyla, a traumatized young woman whose ravings hint that all is not as it seems, Susan must work out what’s really going on while the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
