New Release
The EDEN Trials: GUIDANCE
The Future Guardians of Arakrona, land of the greatest minds of the world, are scheduled to attend a field study in the Borealian Mountain Range in less than a week. Completing their engineering homework on time seems to be their biggest obstacle, but tensions rise in Umbra as the Guide adopts increasingly progressive policies without explanation. They realize not only that secrets older than they are at risk, but that the very order that defines their fate is under threat-and it's up to them to defend it.
When their plans derail, the Future Guardians make unlikely friends and form tentative alliances in the untamed wilderness as they desperately seek guidance they can trust.
