Glass Eden
Glass Eden A futuristic rebellion. A fractured memory. A truth that could shatter a perfect world. The city of **Caldera** shimmered beneath its translucent dome, suspended in perpetual twilight.

Not since her father’s fishing boat sank in these waters. But the lawyer’s letter forced her hand: “Inherit the lighthouse or lose it to the wreckers.” She’d expected dust and ghosts.
