This is a collection of five books which follow a woman named Eden.  Each book is more a short story, but each feeds into the next.  Eden is a strong young woman, 20 years old, a hard worker on her family's farm. As an only child, she found her best friend in reading the Bible, which has built her faith and worshipping the Heavenly Father. Her parents have taught her well to be independent as she soon must remain strong to take on the challenge of finding who was responsible for their sudden death.  An Enderman will show her the way ... only if she will track down and kill a creeper guarding a cave leading to the Netherworld (the underworld of the dead).  She goes forth with two warriors, twin brothers Ron and Sean.  Before they leave to accomplish the task for the Enderman, a woman seer, Thamas, has knowledge of Eden as the two warriors have now mentioned to Eden.  So, first, Eden wants to talk to Thamas before taking on a creeper.  They tread through winter snow, desert heat, fighting a group of skeletons, and other creatures, and soon arrive at Thamas' dwelling.  She tells Eden that she has been chosen to be a warrior princess because of her strength and fortitude.  She gives her a red-jeweled emerald to aid her on her quest.  There are good lessons to be learned from this excellently written series.  The quest that Eden is on is revenge ... and revenge can have its many faults.  This is a fascinating and captivating  story for young adults, one that stresses great values.
