Eden in the sky

In New Dawn, immortality is real. Survival is not guaranteed. High above the lower tiers, New Eden floats like paradise—an impossible continent in the sky where the wealthy buy forever and call it salvation. Beneath it, the rest of humanity lives under the polished cruelty of a world that has learned to turn death into a business. Eighteen-year-old Lena Vale was born in Gold Tier, raised among luxury, order, and carefully manufactured hope. She was taught that continuity transfer was humanity’s greatest miracle: a way for the mind to live on after the body failed. Then Lena discovers the truth. Her parents have sold her. In seven days, her body will be legally terminated. Her organs will be harvested. Her genetic line will be licensed. Her mind will be copied into a manufactured afterlife, and everyone who profits from it will insist she survived. Terrified and betrayed, Lena runs to Kieran Holt, a brilliant Silver-born technician who has spent years seeing the cracks in New Dawn’s perfect lies. Together, they uncover a secret the city was never meant to lose: death may not be as obedient as New Dawn claims. But in a civilization built on purchased eternity, one girl’s survival could become the most dangerous proof in the world. And far above them, Eden is watching. Eden in the Sky is a dark dystopian science fiction novel about identity, exploitation, rebellion, faith, and the terrifying question at the heart of immortality: If a copy wakes up with your memories, did you survive—or did someone else inherit your ghost?
