One choice. One forbidden fruit. One woman’s defiance that gave humanity its soul.
 
Eve—first woman and the first to truly live.
 
For centuries, patriarchal faiths have painted her as the downfall of man. But in this intimate retelling, Eve reclaims her voice to reveal the truth behind the legend. How a single act of courage awakened free will, knowledge, and the power to choose between good and evil.
 
Guided by the dragon who whispers of wisdom, guarded by unicorns who mourn innocence lost, Eve steps beyond paradise to discover what it means to live, love, and grow.
 
To Live offers a fresh, mythic reimagining of humanity’s first story. It’s one that celebrates balance, freedom, and the divine spark of choice itself.
