On his deathbed, the four-hundred-year-old emperor of Atlantis has reason to worry. Signar, the savage ruler of a powerful outlying state, is scheming to seize control of the empire, and not even its advanced technology can save it. But something else can . . .

From the frozen north country of Althrustri, Signar will halt his invasion if he can take the emperor’s daughter, the beautiful Empress Salustra, as his bride. Such a marriage contradicts the deepest feelings of Salustra’s heart, the secret wisdom of her lineage, and her sacred trust as Atlantis’s queen. But the emperor has a plan: Salustra will seduce Signar and then sentence him to death.

In spite of every effort to harden her heart, Salustra soon finds herself falling in love with the lustful barbarian. Her loyalties gravely divided, the empress must make a decision that will change the course of history.

Written by author Taylor Caldwell when she was a young girl and revised and published decades later, The Romance of Atlantis transforms the legend of a lost kingdom into an “extraordinary” tale of passion and intrigue (TheColumbus Dispatch).

O poço sem fundo da esperança humana.

A historia de Salustra, a última governante da lendária Atlantida, e a catástrofe que se aproxima e se faz sentir na atmosfera, no barulho do mar e da terra.Atlântida é mostrada como uma sociedade de casta, com ciencia muito desenvolvida , mas que em contradição mantem a escravidão. A neblina sufocante que envolve o país, o colapso dos sistemas de energia, o panico , em intensidade crescente , mantém um ritmo , que marca os acontecimentos da vida da ultima imperatriz. TC faz coincidir o fim de Atlântida com o dilúvio bíblico . Para quem gosta de romance, é otimo.
