T.A. Barron - Atlantis in Peril & The Wisdom of Merlin

T.A. Barron will join us at Book Passage to talk about his two brand new books, Atlantis in Peril and The Wisdom of Merlin

ATLANTIS IN PERIL
The action-packed second installment in the Atlantis trilogy by New York Times bestselling author, T.A. Barron.  The Island of Atlantis is suddenly at risk, and so is Promi and Atlanta's friendship. Despite the ban against immortals traveling to Earth, Promi continues to risk everything to visit his friend Atlanta. But what he doesn't understand is that the veil between worlds becomes thinner each time he does this, weakening the barrier that protects mortals from the sprit realm. In the meantime, a ship of Greek sailors lands on the island, and Promi's sister fortells of dire consequences if any of the sailors survive. But Promi and Atlanta can't stand by and watch them die, so they help the sailors. But this action, though well-intentioned, may just lead to Atlantis's eventual demise.
