Publisher's Synopsis
Atlantis plunges into a war that may doom the human race.
Corruption, cruel oppression, and wickedness in high places-Periander will fight them all. As one of ten kings jointly ruling in Atlantis, he must navigate the treacherous waters of ruthless ambition: the High King Critias seeks to consolidate all power in his own hands at home before enslaving the rest of the world. While others bow their necks to the rising tyranny, Periander stands up for peace and the federal constitution.
But this resistance comes at his family's expense. When Critias attempts to murder him, Periander barely escapes his homeland with his life but not his wife-the latest victim of the High King's brutality. Now a hunted fugitive, Periander must recruit foreign allies, lead an army to liberate Atlantis from the tyrant's clasp, and avenge his beloved queen.
Periander will stop at nothing to destroy Critias, no matter the cost. But as the body count rises, he must confront a bleak future:
Can he defeat Critias before the world drowns in blood? And will his only child survive this conflict?
