Romance of Atlantis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Romance of Atlantis is a fantasy novel by Taylor Caldwell about the ancient, erudite, and highly advanced civilisation of Atlantis.
Taylor Caldwell wrote this novel when she was twelve years old [1], and it lay unpublished until 1975, when Caldwell resurrected it with the assistance of Jess Stearn, and it was finally published.
Atlantis is ruled by the beautiful and intelligent Empress Salustra. The fate of the Empire will be decided by an arranged marriage with the ruler of a less advanced, semi-barbarian northern kingdom, as the advanced technology of Atlantis is powerless against strange environmental and ecological disasters.
