'Determined to find her own identity before becoming bonded to her Guardian, Annie does everything she can to keep him at a distance – until her partner Cherub, Harry, dredges up the mystery of his parents’ deaths and triggers unwanted attention from an organised crime syndicate.

'Lainie Gracewood has turned her back on the world she used to call home. But who can blame her? After all, the sweet bliss of paradise is hard to resist.

'But there’s a restlessness inside her that yearns to be set free. When a native Edenite discovers the boundary between Earth and Eden, Lainie promises herself a return will be short and sweet.

'As always, Earth is more complicated than that. When a Guardian is abducted, the urge to protect the sacred knowledge will see her faced with the ultimate choice: life, death or paradise?'

'We belong to the Earth, Lainie-Bug. We were sent here in human form for a reason. If you don't know what to do, then just be human.

'Right. Like that was ever a simple thing to do.

'In the heart of the Wimmera region of Victoria, an ancient gateway to Eden is kept hidden and safe by a creature so powerful that even the moon would obey her commands - at least it would if she had any idea that she wasn't just a normal girl about to finish high school.

'When a mining company begins exploratory sampling near Lainie's sheep farm, a family secret is revealed that makes her regret not having learnt more about her Indigenous heritage.

'What she's told by their farmhand, Harry - an Aboriginal Elder - can't possibly be true, but then the most irritating guy in class, Bane, begins to act even more insanely toward her than ever, until she can no longer deny that something very unusual is going on.

'When Harry doesn't return from his quest to seek help to protect the area from the miners, Lainie sets out to discover the truth of her heritage, and of the secret she's been born to protect.'
