Atlantis on the Shores of Forever Jennifer Mckeithen

Publisher Marketing: A princess seeking to balance duty and her tempestuous heart... A wanderer searching for a purpose... A soldier destined for glory... A doomed civilization... 236 B. C. The powerful civilization of Atlantis is in decline, while Rome and Carthage recover from a long and bitter war. Dark ships from the east appear suddenly on the horizon, leaving destruction in their wake. The major powers of the known world must put aside their differences, at least for long enough to contend with this new threat. After that, all bets are off. The wanderer... Finn Stigandr, disillusioned with the decadence of his Atlantean countrymen, renounced his citizenship to join the Roman navy. Twenty years later, he continues to search for a purpose, though his future doesn't seem to hold any promise. Until he meets a woman who changes everything. The princess... As the only daughter of Lord Erwan of Ker-Ys, her fate was decided at birth. But with the untimely death of her husband, she may find control of her own destiny for the first time in her life, if she can prove audacious enough to seize it. Will she learn to balance the duty to her people with the desires of her tempestuous heart? The soldier... Marcus Duilius, son of a Roman naval hero, is determined to make a name for himself, despite his family's plebeian roots. The arrival of a new enemy on the scene presents the perfect opportunity to rise even higher than his father in fame and glory. No woman would ever get in the way of his ambition-that was before the wife of his political rival entered into his life. Navigating the realm of politics turns more treacherous than the stormiest of seas. Their world is changing... Atlantis stands in the twilight of her glory. After a thousand years of unchallenged peace, she musters all her resources for what will surely prove a ruinous war-a war that may spell the end of her world dominance.
