I am currently seeking representation for The Cult of Eve, an upmarket historical fantasy novel complete at 78,000 words.

Eve believes she is the first woman created by the god El, created to be a helper for her husband, Adam.  Living in Eden, she and her husband have been given a few rules:  be fruitful and multiply, and don’t eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, for they will surely die.

That is, until a lizard points out that their god might not be telling the truth.  Why would a good leader not want his people to have knowledge?  Determined to test this theory, Eve and her husband eat the fruit and discover that God was lying – they don’t die.  In fact, they realize a hidden truth: Eve – and all women – are completely equal to men.

Banished from Eden, Adam and Eve are hurled into a world they are utterly unprepared for: a world populated by the Black-Headed Ones, a fully established society dating back generations.  Devastated Adam is devoted to his God, who desires him to rule over Eve.  Eve, however, is determined to live life on her own terms.  It all might have worked out, if not for a foreign goddess who appears before Eve with a shocking truth: she is Adam’s second wife, and both of the women created by El are endowed with power from an ancient goddess, prophesied to restore equality to the world.

But Eve’s sister is more dangerous than she appears. Eve must balance her destiny against her desire to raise a family, and her sons are harboring a sibling rivalry that threatens to explode in violence.  When Adam joins forces with the Black-Headed Ones to oppress the women of the world, it is up to Eve to rise from the ashes and fight for the freedom of women.
