More DescriptionThe Breach of Eden is the retelling of the early chapters of Genesis through a very different lens. The central character of the book is Timron, a young, courageous shepherd and son of Jabal who dwelt with his father on the Plains of Nod beneath the shadows of the cursed mountain, Arel.One day, as Jabel and Timron were caring for their sheep, they heard a hideous sound descending from the Plateau of Elda, which girdled Arel, down to the plain below. Fearful of what this may portend for the rest of his family, Jabal asked Timron if he would carefully ascend the heights and investigate. Timron agreed, and that which he discovered proved to be the pivotal event in the history of the First Age of Arda. As he stepped out onto the Plateau of Elda, he was confronted, not by evil spirits, but by tens of thousands of people much like himself. The terrifying sound Timron and his father had heard was a lament, and when Timron inquires of a beautiful young woman as to to cause of the lament, he is informed that FirstFather Adam had just announced to his children that he was beginning his final year of life.Timron's reality fell apart. For centuries, he and the other descendents of Cain living below had been taught that FirstFather and FirstMother had died in sorrow after Cain had slew his brother for stealing his birthright. Alea then makes a decision which alters the history of Arda for all time: She takes the hand of the young shepherd and leads him into the presence of Adam and Eve. That which follows alters the course of history on both the Plateau and the Plain forever.
