Lilith and Adam are equal and happy in the Garden of Eden.
But when Adam decides Lilith should submit to his will and lie beneath him, she refuses – and is banished forever from Paradise.
Demonised and sidelined, Lilith watches in fury as God creates Eve, the woman who accepts her submission.
But Lilith has a secret: she has already tasted the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Endowed with Wisdom, she knows why Asherah – God’s wife and equal, the Queen of Heaven – is missing.
Lilith has a plan: she will rescue Eve, find Asherah, restore balance to the world and regain her rightful place in Paradise.
