A young queen is torn between her heart's desire and the fate of her kingdom in this "first-rate" fantasy ( Library Journal ) from a New York Times best-selling author. On his deathbed, the 400-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 ( The Columbus Dispatch ).

I am reading every Taylor Caldwell book I can find and this one was just as spell binding as the others. If you like her writing, I suggest you get started.

Romance of Atlantis
I thought it was a very good book . I infact read it through twice. I was glad that the queen was saved at the end. It kept you on your toes as what was going to happen if anyone was going to be left at the end. Taylor Caldwell really out did herself in this book. I would reconnended it to anyone. My husband even enjoy. He like me was shock how the ending was. thanks kathy
