The Fallen from Paradise

The Paradise Planets, Book 1

By: Shaun Barrowes

Narrated by: Maya Tuttle

All Sirens must earn their place on Paradise—even those born into it.

In the year 2132, fifteen-year-old Kassiana Rivernova lives in luxury on Nemal, the most opulent of the Paradise Planets. She never questions the suffering on flooded Earth or the Gaians struggling to survive in its ruins.

Until the day she’s stolen.

Torn from her privileged world and forced to live among Earth’s outcasts, Kassi is silenced in the most devastating way. After a violent assault ruptures her vocal cords—in a society where voice is power—she’s forced to prove she belongs on Paradise by competing in the Siren Games: the premier vocal competition across the galaxies.

Voiceless and broken, Kassi joins a team of underdogs with no real shot at winning. Her only hope is rescue. But as her bonds with her teammates deepen, Kassi must make an impossible choice: save herself… or risk everything for the people who’ve become her family.

Because on Earth, nothing is given.

And sometimes, the price of Paradise… is everything.
