All Eden wants is redemption... but the road to redemption is never an easy one.
Travelling to Scotland to find her mother’s bloodline, Eden is soon embroiled in the politics and training of the Scottish Warriors of Neith. It is a world where some stand with open arms ready to welcome her as family, while others keep a wary distance, conspiring against her. Through it all Eden learns of love, friendship, and what it means to be a warrior. Her future has promise... that is until a man she thought forever gone from her life returns to threaten it all.
When the one person Eden loves above all else is endangered, she will have to make a choice. Him... or her?
Life is such a bitch...
... but so is Eden when you don’t play nice.

They had just made it into Old Town when Val’s cell rang. She’d gone all serious when she answered and then covered the phone telling them she needed to take the call. They were standing outside The National Museum of Scotland . After deciding she didn’t really want to be stuck inside on a day with clear skies, Eden had shaken her head at Tobe’s suggestion they go in. Instead October had told Valeria to catch up with them on The Royal Mile outside of a place called The Filling Station . Val had nodded tightly and disappeared around the corner, leaving Eden watching after her with a tight knot in her chest. She hoped there wasn’t anything serious going on.

October had tugged on her sleeve and Eden had begun following her but they both drew to an abrupt halt at the sound of someone shouting October’s name. A tall, cute guy was heading towards them.

“Oh gawd,” October had mumbled. “This is a friend from school. Completely human. Be cool.” Eden had thrown her a look as if to say, ‘ Moi? How could I be anything but cool?

October had introduced the guy but Eden hadn’t really been listening, she was too busy worrying about Val’s telephone conversation. Anyway, the guy was going on about some book they were supposed to pick up for English class and how he couldn’t find it in store, so Tobe had offered to help out and Eden had followed along quietly as they crossed the street to a bookstore.

“I’ll wait out here,” she had said and October, kind of flustered, had merely nodded.

Tobe flustered? Eden had wondered if she had a crush on this guy or something.

Patiently waiting had never been Eden’s forte and everything had kind of gone downhill from there. Tobe and her friend seemed to be taking an awfully long time. It hadn’t been her fault. Really.

She was bored. Eden had begun to wander in kind of daze, heading north down the street. Cyrus had driven up this way and she was pretty sure they had passed a Forbidden Planet store. Finding it, Eden was stupidly excited, breathing in the smell of glossy comics as she headed inside. It was weird, but being here, in a foreign country, without her parents dragging her down, without this ‘thing’ inside of her, she felt a little on the side of normal for the first time. She wandered around looking for the latest Shonen Jump and eyeing kitschy dolls and backpacks and stuff. To her bemusement she could not find a single copy of Shonen . For a minute she was almost so distracted by the store assistant’s clear bell of an accent she had almost missed her advising her that they didn’t have it in stock. A little disheartened Eden had headed back outside and headed up towards the bookstore. After fifteen minutes of scouring the place from top to bottom, she realised she had lost October.

Crap, crap, crap . She bit her lip and glanced around. Nope. There was definitely no sign of her.

OK. Val was supposed to be meeting them at The Filling Station on The Royal Mile… sooo she’d just go there. Eden patted her jeans for her cell only to discover she had left it back at Tobe’s. Oh hell . She needed to get to The Filling Station before Val got there first and flipped out.

“Excuse me.” Eden stopped a couple walking nonchalantly up the street. “Could you tell me how to get to The Filling Station on The Royal Mile?” The guy grimaced apologetically. “Aw sorry am no’ fae aroond here, a dinnae ken whorr The Fillin’ Station is but ah kin tell ye whorr The Royal Mile is.” Eden stared at him blankly. “Was that a no?”

He laughed and turned around, pointing back down the street. “If ye go doon that way ye’ll find yersel own The Royal Mile. If ye ask somebody, they’ll be able tae tell ye whorr The Fillin’ Station is.”

She got the pointing and stuff but she still didn’t understand a word he had said so she just nodded gratefully and thanked him, before heading back the way she’d just come. As she walked down the street she passed a group of girls who were talking about classes, an American accent ringing out among them. Students! Surely, they’d know and she’d actually understand them.

“Excuse me.” She stopped the group and they turned to her expectantly. “Could you guys tell me how to get to The Filling Station on The Royal Mile?”

“Oh thank God!” A familiar Scottish accent made Eden’s shoulders sag with relief. She turned to see October running towards her. She smacked Eden across the arm before tugging her rudely away from the students. “Where the bloody hell did you go? I’ve been preparing myself for the Hara Kiri.

The Princeps would expect nothing less from the idiot who managed to lose his bloody daughter!”

“Jeez, chill Tobe.” Eden grunted, feeling much better now that she had her guide back. “You’re going to give yourself a heart attack.”

“If it wouldn’t end in my death I would kill you for walking away. Where were you?!”

“Can you please stop screeching? I’m guessing having full use of my hearing is kind of crucial to my training to be a warrior.”

October continued to glare at her, not taking her eyes off her, bumping into people who threw comments over their shoulder at her rudeness.

Eden shrugged. “I was in Forbidden Planet . Do you know they don’t even stock Shonen Jump ? I thought this place was supposed to be metropolitan.”

“I’m going to metropolitan your arse next time you pull a stunt like that.”

“What does that even mean?”

“It means… it means… och, I don’t know. Just don’t do that again. I’m too young and pretty to die from heart failure.”

“OK, sorry. I was bored. What were you and that guy doing anyway? Making out in the English lit section?”

Tobe grimaced at the comment, her cerulean eyes narrowing. “Nooo. Colin is human. We don’t do humans?”

“What? Never? What if they’re hot?”

“Ugh, I didn’t mean do as in do . God, get your head out of the gutter, Cuz.” At that Eden’s footsteps picked up a little more cheerfully. Cuz. That was kind of nice. “So, are you dating one of the Neith then?”

October shook her head. “I used to date Cameron but we ended it about six months ago.”

“Cameron as in McLeish’s nephew?”

“Yup, the very one.”

“He’s cute.”

“Yeah, but we grew up together. We thought we’d give the whole dating thing a try but in the end it was like kissing a cousin or something you know.”

An image of Teagan popped into Eden’s head and her fists clenched. The s.o.b was still out there, roaming free. “Oh yeah, I know exactly what you mean.”

“OK, that sounds faintly ominous.”

Surprisingly, Eden found herself telling Tobe all about Teagan. Tobe was sufficiently disgusted and very vehement on her behalf. She noticed the angrier she got, the thicker her accent grew. It amused Eden, despite their subject matter.

They talked about a lot of different things and Eden was grateful to the girl for diplomatically sidestepping any mention of Stellan. Instead she moved on to discussing the training centre and how the Neith were intimidated by Cyrus, Val and Noah. They’d never had Ankh around in years so they were pretty much the hot topic at the moment. In between October’s gossiping, she pointed out different stores on The Royal Mile that she liked. Eden took it all in with appreciative eyes. She still couldn’t get over how surreal it was to be here. As they walked up The Mile, Eden’s sharp eyes caught sight of Val a few yards up ahead, waiting for them outside of the restaurant.

“So it’s pretty darn cool that Valeria of Corsica and Cyrus of Persepolis are your guardians.
