I believe the answer is:

renegade

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one deserting' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'eden with rage out of control' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'out of control' is an anagram indicator.
'eden' put after 'rage' is 'rageeden'.
'rageeden' with letters rearranged gives 'RENEGADE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for renegade that I've seen before include "disloyal type" , "One who deserts cause or faith" , "Dare Gene to become a rebel" , "Person who deserts from cause or faith" , "not someone true to the cause" .)
