In this dramatic dystopian novel set in ancient Atlantis, prepare for romance, betrayal, and adventure.
Atlantis stands on the precipice of chaos.
In the floating capital, a political coup shakes the continent to its core, threatening to unravel what little stability remains. As ancient technology collides with forbidden magic and a powerful A.I. religion tightens its grip, familiar faces and new players emerge to fight for a world on the brink of collapse.
Among them is Inanna, a noblewoman who has spent her life in the shadow of her powerful Sumeri family. But when the empire fractures, she is thrust into a storm of danger, deception, and destiny. She finds herself drawn to Ibris--a towering, charismatic man with the horns of the sacred Atlantean bull. A genetically engineered halfbreed, rebel solider turned Underworld titan. Torn between the weight of her family's legacy and the pull of Ibris, Inanna must make choices that could reshape the world forever.
With betrayal at every turn and the empire's fate hanging by a thread, Inanna walks a treacherous path of power, passion, and peril. In a land where ancient secrets linger in the ruins and the line between machine and magic blurs, every decision she makes carries the weight of history itself.
"The Sky Gods of Atlantis" is a science fantasy novel and Part 2 of 3 in the "Third World Universe" created by author Sunny Ghauri, offering a fantastical retelling of the stories of Atlantis.

The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time.

Run. Don't look back.
When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go.
The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food.
When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead.
Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.
