Deukalion, priest and legatee, is recalled across the sea to Atlantis, to the court of the terrible empress Phorenice, and the doom gathering over the doomed continent.

Cutcliffe Hyne's 1900 novel is a sweeping, atmospheric lost-world romance of Atlantis. Vivid, dramatic, richly imagined. Read it for a grand tale of the last days of the fabled continent, tyranny, sorcery, and cataclysm, a classic of the Atlantis genre told with full-blooded Victorian gusto.
