    About this ebook

    The ringed City of Atlantis was the most beautiful place on Earth, with mountains and waterfalls north, a sparkling river to its south leading to the sea, and green farms spreading east farther than the eye could see. It was the best place in the world to have grown up.

     

    But times were changing, and Asha didn't understand that political forces were at play. When she volunteers to undertake a vital warrant from the king, she is stepping into more danger than she realizes. Her task: deliver her father's secret work to Kemet in the Black Lands, three thousand miles away.

     

    It would be a dangerous trek on its own, but between Atlantis in the west and Kemet in the east were the Babaroy, tribal primitives who scoffed at civilization and anyone associated with it. Worse, the Babaroy were brutal, savage, deadly, and rumored to eat any civilized people they captured, not always waiting for them to be dead first.

     

    Still, Asha's mission required not just a blood oath from her but her commitment to putting her king and her people ahead of herself—an arduous task—when she suddenly learns the world isn't what she thought it was, and her loyalties may have been misplaced from the very beginning.

      Authors Note

      Greetings, Fellow Adventurers :

      Embarking on the Atlantis fantasy series with you is an absolute thrill. What started as a modest prequel idea has evolved into an enchanting journey, and I'm excited to take this ride together.

      Let's rewind to the beginning with Asha of Atlantis. The allure of Atlantis has long held my fascination, and I sought to intertwine its intrigue with the tapestry of dark fantasy. Roughly a year ago, this expedition into storytelling began, and it's been an exhilarating odyssey.

      Initially, I thought expanding this tale might find its place within a single book. However, the narrative and its universe demanded more space, more breathing room. Thus, the decision to unfold the tale through a series of shorter, dynamic stories is where I ended up.

      Get ready because Skulls of Atlantis is right on the horizon. This next installment is a tapestry woven with all the elements that bring this world to life. From enigmatic shadows to compelling characters and pulse-pounding action, it promises an adventure that will keep you captivated.

      But hold on; we're not done yet. Following Skulls of Atlantis, we'll journey into Daemons of Atlantis, plumbing the depths of this world that's taken root in my mind. And this series won't stop there—think of it like the timeless Saturday morning serials that held us in their grip.

      Let me be honest—I'm no literary genius (as many of you remind me in book reviews). I'm simply someone who found themselves ensnared by a story that begged to be told. The realm of Atlantis is a dance between danger and wonder, an intricate space that has kindled my imagination. Now, I extend the invitation to you, inviting you to become entranced as well.

      As we proceed through Daemons of Atlantis, we'll dive into Gods of Atlantis, where the stakes promise to reach new heights. And on the horizon, anticipate Storms of Atlantis, a title that hints at the enigmatic mysteries that await beyond.

      So, secure your belongings, keep your curiosity alive, and let's embark on this captivating adventure through the Atlantis fantasy series, starting with Asha of Atlantis.

      I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

      With gratitude,

      David Edward
