Release Date: April 26th 2016Summary:
Synthia (Syn) Wade is a teenage girl who struggles with cystic fibrosis, an incurable life-threatening disease. One day she is pushed into a pond by an unseen figure and wakes up in a new world – a mysterious garden where illness and death don’t exist.
Welcomed by the garden’s residents and now free of her symptoms, Syn decides to stay. But, before long, she realizes that this apparent utopia holds many dangers and dark secrets.
Surrounding the garden is a fog that Syn is warned never to enter. She encounters bizarre creatures that defy reason. And always lurking in the shadows is a masked woman - a woman who may have a connection to the disappearance of Syn’s parents many years ago. A woman whom no one will speak of, but whom everyone fears.
While No One Dies in the Garden of Syn, Syn will soon discover that some fates are worse than death.
Excerpt
There is no way to get past my attacker and the two crocodile Creepers. The Creeper birds circling above the platform are an extra layer of security. I’m trapped. Is death the only way out of this? The only way to save Beth? I don’t want to die. But unlike Beth, an early death was written in my cards long ago. She could live to eighty or even a hundred. I’ll be lucky to make it to twenty. As much as I want to enjoy every moment of every day until my time naturally runs out, her life is worth more than mine. I swore to protect it. One thing is certain. If I live, she dies.
I take in the bird’s-eye view of the Garden. The view of one world from the sky of another. The Creepers flap their massive wings, circling nearer, my hair whipping across my face from the draft.
“It’s a long way down, Synthia.”
“That’s one thing we agree on.” I shrug into my backpack and face him. “Another thing we agree on is that some things are worse than death. Like losing a loved one.”
“A loved one someone takes from you,” He says, with malice.
“I am sorry about that. But you’re not going to kill Beth for revenge.”
“Oh? Why is that?”
“Because you can’t make me witness something if I’m dead.” With that, I whirl around and hop onto the railing, teetering forward, gasping with panicked second thoughts.
“No!” He screams.
Defiantly, I heave myself off the railing.
