The first in the EDEN'S JOURNEY series, THE MOTH tells the story of beautiful seventeen year old Eden Gardner and her escape from an insane asylum with the help of Marshall Pierce, a 21-year old ex-Marine half-breed with a dubious agenda. Eden Gardner is Chosen; as she puts it, she was "born knowing". Her special powers come into play as they travel from New Mexico to Montana, where Luce Flint, a evil false prophet, holds his followers captive against the invasion of government forces. Marshall finds himself falling in love with what is supposed to be his target--a strange, enchanted girl whose quest is to bring together six specially chosen survivors for what will soon become humanity's End...and the dawn of a New Day.
