Published Jan. 21, 2016

(Philomel Books) With Atlantis Rising, T.A. Barron, the New York Times bestselling author of the Merlin Saga, offers a reimagining of a legend as old as Merlin’s. Unlike many of the stories that have imagined the island’s destruction, this first novel in the trilogy looks to the creation of Atlantis and tells the story of a boy and a girl determined to save their country in a colossal battle between good and evil. Barron is a writer of fantasy literature, children’s and young adult books, and nature books.
