Temný Eden Séria
Ponorte sa do dystopického sveta na planéte bez slnka, kde zvyšky ľudstva prežívajú v tieni obrovských lampových stromov. Táto séria skúma témy prežitia, viery a vzbury proti zavedeným tradíciám. Keď sa objaví mladý hrdina, ktorý spochybňuje stáročné mýty a vydáva sa do nebezpečných neznámych krajín, odhalí šokujúcu pravdu o svojom pôvode a budúcnosti ľudstva. Ide o strhujúce sci-fi s hlbokými filozofickými otázkami a pútavým dejom.
