Sinkingcity قصص

Tides have been turning. But he tries to stay afloat because he has a lifeline to hold on to.

In the collapsing, waterlogged ruins of Atlantis, survival isn't a right - it's a battle. Eighteen-year-old Thalia Lexos knows that better than anyone. With a missing mother, a secretive and dangerous father, and a younger brother to protect, Thalia survives by stealing what the sea-drenched upper tiers won't give: food, freedom, and dignity. Her hatred for the ruling elite burns hotter than the sun above the Dome - especially for the prince who lets it all happen. But Prince Callum isn't the cold tyrant she's imagined. Trapped in a crumbling palace and suffocating under the weight of a throne he never wanted, Callum knows Atlantis is dying. And if the myths are true, there may be only one way to save it - by returning Poseidon's lost trident, now deep in the underworld's grip. When fate throws Thalia and Callum into each other's paths, they strike an uneasy bargain. She'll help him on his mission to recover the relic and save the city - for a price. But with every step of their dangerous journey, from broken city tiers to ancient ruins and god-forged gates, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur. As they race against time, hunted by shadows from both the mortal and divine worlds, Thalia must decide if she's willing to trust a prince - and if saving Atlantis is worth the cost of her heart.
