Last Days in Atlantis: The City of the Golden Gates(Stephanie H. Hammond)

Living in the last days of ancient Atlantis, Mari strives to make choices that are best for her and her people. Her story is told against a backdrop of deception and intrigue as she becomes entangled in the power struggles between her people and the rulers of the City of the Golden Gates.

Events collide and she is forced to take on a momentous task, one that tests her love and trust in the traditions of her people and in those who are dearest to her: her mother, and the young man she loves. Mari believes she has failed the task and struggles to overcome her feelings of grief, guilt, and betrayal that threaten her very survival.

“Last Days in Atlantis is well written. It’s a story of hope with visual clarity: I can see the people in their robes and colours. The ending was spectacular – a huge surprise and I really liked it.”
