The floating Atlantean Capital teeters on the edge of ruin after a political coup fractures the continent. Ancient technology clashes with outlawed magic. And as the last generation of nobles, rebels, and mystics scramble to shape what comes next, love becomes its own kind of revolution.
At the center are Inanna, a noblewoman torn from her gilded past, and Ibris Mansa, a genetically engineered bull halfbreed warrior turned syndicate boss, forged by rebellion and violence. Their relationship is fragile, furious, and fiercely intimate. It unfolds in the ruins of a society that was never built to hold them. She is the daughter of power. He is the bull-horned legend of the Underworld. But in the wreckage of old empires, they may be the future.
Around them, other flames bloom and burn, including beloved characters: Kaya and Mazi, Esa and Nora, Yoshua and Bo, Manik and Han'a, and Marcus and Cilantra. Each romance a mirror. Each heartbreak a warning.
As the Capital above collapses and a new Atlantis stirs in its wake, Inanna and Ibris must decide if their bond can survive betrayal, rebirth, and the burden of destiny.
"Flames of Atlantis" is a sweeping, emotional follow-up to "The Sky Gods of Atlantis," continuing the saga of magic, memory, and forbidden love in the Third World Universe created by author Sunny Ghauri. While part of an ongoing series, it can be read as a standalone novel.
