Eden Philanthropic Foundation
Two immortals. An empire built from grief. And a world that doesn't know how close it keeps coming to the edge.
The Foundation of Everything
The Eden Philanthropic Foundation Series is a dark science fiction and fantasy saga set against the backdrop of a world that runs on visible institutions and invisible wars. At its center are Eva and Adamocles Eden — two Pre-Pangean Alphas, immortals who have walked the Earth for millions of years and built the Foundation as their answer to the chaos they alone have lived long enough to understand.
On the surface, the Foundation is exactly what it claims to be: the world's most powerful and well-resourced philanthropic organization. It funds hospitals and schools, brokers peace agreements, and places the right people in the right rooms at the right moments. Beneath that surface, it is something older and more dangerous — a private military, an intelligence network, and a bulwark against supernatural threats that most of humanity will never be cleared to know exist.
The Oni — supernatural beings operating in organized factions — have always known the Edens exist. Their long cold war with the Foundation is the spine of the series. As each book unfolds, the factions grow bolder, the secrets grow heavier, and the question shifts from whether the Edens can protect the world to whether protecting the world has cost them the ability to remain who they were.
The series is built in deep shadow and firelight. Morally complex decisions, earned violence, and the emotional cost of immortality are core to its atmosphere. Nothing here is clean. Even the heroes carry wounds that never fully healed.
The supernatural elements — the Oni, Pre-Pangean Alphas, ancient compacts — are treated as real and systemic rather than exotic. Magic is power, and power has bureaucracy, politics, and corruption just like everything else.
The contemporary storylines span multiple continents, Prague, São Paulo, the Middle East, London, with flashback threads reaching into ancient history. The past is never truly past in the EPF Verse; it drives the present relentlessly.
Eva and Ado are not invincible. They are exhausted, loving, scarred beings who have watched everyone they ever cared for age and die — except each other. Their relationship is the emotional anchor the series refuses to let go of.
The field team around Eva and Ado is as important as the Edens themselves. Cole's grit, Sullivan's precision, Bors's loyalty, Gabriel's complexity — these are people shaped by the same wars the Edens have fought, carrying their own versions of the cost.
The threats in the EPF Verse are never just personal. The Oni factions operate on civilizational timescales. Their goals aren't revenge — they're dominion. The Foundation isn't just protecting people. It's holding back an older, darker order.
What does it mean to build something meant to outlive you — when you can't die? The Foundation is Eva and Ado's greatest achievement and their most persistent anxiety.
Every member of the team has been tested, broken, and had to choose whether to rebuild. The series explores what loyalty looks like after betrayal — and after grief.
The Oni factions are mirrors of the Foundation's darkest potential. The question is never whether power corrupts — it's whether you can hold it without becoming what you fight.
Eva and Ado's bond is the series' north star. It has been tested by 200-year separations, by war, by loss. That it endures is both the miracle and the wound that holds them together.
From Cole's sobriety to Sullivan's cybernetic arm to Bors's orphaned childhood — each character is shaped by damage they've had to build a self around rather than through.
The world the characters inhabit is not the world it appears to be. Every historical turning point has a second story — and Eva and Ado were there for all of them.
Prequel — Before Book One
The origin story. Before the Foundation, before Prague, before centuries of war and survival. Traces the creation of the bond that holds everything else together, from the very first moment of Ado's existence.
Book One — Prague
The Foundation has kept its secrets for decades. Then a single operation in Prague begins pulling on threads that were never meant to be found. Eva and Ado resurface from careful obscurity. The field team assembles under crisis conditions for the first time. And the world catches its first glimpse of what has always been standing between them and the dark — including the Bastion, the 200-year wound, and an adversary patient enough to have waited for exactly this moment.
Anthology — The Chronicles of the Edens
Thirty-two interconnected vignettes spanning 80 AD through 2031. Three structural movements: the present-day Foundation in 2031, the Black House's hidden history, and nearly two thousand years of historical encounters. Origin stories, missing chapters, and the threads that bind an immortal pair to the long arc of human civilization. The script never changes. The players do.
Book Two — November 2030, Oslo
Opening November 9, 2030, in Oslo. An attack on Bors during a routine operation triggers the activation of the Foundation's most classified protocol. The factions coordinate for the first time. The Black House's Gaia Project — a plan to use Alpha energy as a bridge for something that has no business entering the physical world — moves from theory to operation. And Eva and Ado discover that protecting the world may require destroying part of what they built it on.
Book Three, Part One — May 2031, Paris
Opening May 12, 2031, at La Seine Musicale in Paris. An ambush. A Necroshot wound that doesn't heal. And a global $50,000,000 bounty on the Foundation's core team. The Black House engineers collapse on three continents simultaneously — São Paulo, Prague, and the Middle East. The Transposition Ritual is already active. What the Black House has been building for centuries is close enough to smell.
Book Three, Part Two — In Progress
The story continues directly from Part 1's ending. The Transposition Ritual is already active, the Black House's six factions are coordinating for the first time, and the Foundation is running out of ground to give.
