For centuries, Atlantis thrived beneath the waves, a city of light and magic fueled by the living orichalcum. But in a world ruled by fear and controlled by a tyrannical Council, that light is fading. Lyra, the last heir to the city's ancient rulers, has been stripped of her legacy and confined to the role of a powerless priestess. Yet, a hidden truth awakens her.
Guided by a glimmering shard of sea-glass and aided by her loyal friends-a brilliant technosoph, a resourceful hydro-shaper, an empathetic harmonizer, and a wary psionic-Lyra must navigate the silent, decaying city. They must steal ancient relics, evade the psychic grasp of the Council's agents, and confront the brutal reality of their past. As the Council's psychological net tightens, Lyra must risk everything to uncover a secret buried for generations and save her people before the last echoes of hope are silenced forever.
