Jak and the Scarlet Thread

DEATH. It's the one experience everyone will share - except, perhaps, for Jak Hamelton.

Three words whirl Jak to a particular garden paradise where a treacherous interaction between Man, Woman and a snake usher death and evil into the world. When a mysterious benefactor named El offers Jak the opportunity to bring the dead back to life and live forever, it sounds like an impossible dream. But after Jak's grandfather unexpectedly begins aging backwards, it appears the dream just might be reality.

However, the weapon Jak's been given to defeat death and evil doesn't even work yet, and the serpent Beelz isn't willing to give up the Earth without a fight. Besides that, there's the poison...

Is it really true that the dead can live forever? What will it take to restore paradise?
