Echoes of the Deep

Bol

Seventeen-year-old Princess Pakipnae, daughter of King Solaris and Queen Ana, is more than a royal heir- she is a seer, bound by destiny and training to become a Priestess in the sacred Temple of Poseidon. Her days are filled with lessons, prophecy, and sisterhood with her closest companion, Laneia, her older sister and confidante. With five older brothers preparing for rule and war, and her sister to be sold to a neighboring King, Pakipnae's quiet strength lies in visions- unruly cryptic glimpses of a future that may not be written in stone. But when a torrent of dark visions begins to reveal the end of Atlantis in fire and flood, she can no longer ignore the truth: her island home is doomed. With visions of tsunamis swallowing her home, fire raining from the heavens, and ancient legends, while her father, King Solaris, becomes obsessed with a forgotten power- the crystal skulls, relics of ancient origin said to channel the will of the gods. But as Solaris hunts them across islands, driven by a desire for absolute dominion, Pakipnae begins to suspect that the skulls are not instruments of salvation- but the agents of ruin. Then he appears. The man from her visions; a stranger with green eyes. As love blooms between them, her devotion is tested- between her calling, her family, and her desperate hope that she might change fate itself. As Atlantis fractures under storms, quakes, and the awakening of ancient powers, Pakipnae must unravel the riddle of the crystal skulls. What do they want from her? Can they save Atlantis- or are they the very force to destroy it? To protect those she loves, Pakipnae will defy the gods, betray her father, and risk everything. But some tides cannot be turned, and some sacrifices demand more than she ever imagined. Atlantis is dying. But was she born to see the end- or to become its final hope?
