Atlantis Rising (Atlantis Saga)

From T.A. Barron, bestselling author of the Merlin Saga featured in The New York Times, comes a captivating new fantasy realm that delves into the origins of Atlantis. This enchanting narrative is tailor-made for aficionados of epic adventures such as The Lord of the Rings, Eragon, The Beyonders, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

In the magical realm of Ellegandia, survival is a daily struggle for a young boy named Promi, who ekes out a living by pilfering pies, cakes, and sweets. Unbeknownst to him, his homeland is ensnared in an ancient conflict between forces of good and evil, waged across both the ethereal and mortal planes. With secrets of his own to safeguard, Promi joins forces with the courageous Atlanta, a steadfast girl determined to defend their land and each other, no matter the sacrifice. Little do they realize, their pledge carries consequences far beyond their understanding — it could, in fact, catalyze the birth of Atlantis, an isolated island where magic holds sway.

Renowned for his trademark blend of action, adventure, and emotional depth, T.A. Barron masterfully constructs a new mythos exploring the genesis of the fabled Atlantis. This novel promises to enthrall readers who cherish the works of Rick Riordan, Brandon Mull, Christopher Paolini, and, naturally, Barron’s own beloved Merlin Saga.

Critics have lauded Barron's novels with accolades such as “Brilliant, significant, and illuminating... an intense and profoundly spiritual adventure” (Lloyd Alexander) and described them as “A crescendo of miracles” (Madeleine L’Engle) and “Interesting and august... compelling” (The New York Times). In the grand tradition of timeless tales, Barron delivers a narrative that is destined to become a classic, captivating readers young and old alike.
