The Chosen
Atlantis was never a myth. It was a secret-buried by those who feared the power it held. For generations, only one bloodline carried that power. The king... and his descendants. The only ones capable of commanding the sea. The only ones who could become something more than human. She was born into that legacy. But when her father dies, he leaves behind more than grief. He leaves her a book-one that awakens something ancient in her blood. Something dangerous. As her abilities begin to rise, so does the truth her family tried to hide. Because not everyone accepted the limits of their power. Some tried to create it. Now, a man exists who should never have been born-a genetic experiment shaped by obsession, ambition, and stolen blood. He is powerful. Unstable. And bound to her in ways neither of them fully understands. Their connection shouldn't exist. But as Atlantis begins to stir beneath the waves, one thing becomes clear: The fall of a kingdom wasn't the end. It was the beginning. And this time... it won't stay buried.Complete
