Brigitte
is an emissary of nature chosen to renew the treaty between Atlantis
and the ancient bloodline of Lemuria. Her
sacred betrothal would renew the elemental function of the Crystal
Grid that powers the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. But her people are
attacked by a storm of shadows, and now she is running for her
life.
Upon
her arrival in the ruling city, she meets D’Vinid, a dejected
musician who lives the quintessential Atlantean lifestyle of revelry,
escapism and apathy. Under the eclipse of a holy festival, they are
swept into an attraction they cannot resist. Their union may protect
humanity from its worst enemy - the shadows of Atlantis. But there is
one problem, this man is not her betrothed.
Brigitte
discovers the Grid is corrupted by psychic parasites that feed off
human suffering, an epidemic called “the madness”. The rituals
required to charge the Grid with psychic emanations have been poorly
attended, and this has caused the Grid to malfunction. But as nature
always strives toward balance, the crystals have activated a genetic
upgrade among the people. The youth have begun to express
supernatural powers. Could it be that D’Vinid and Brigitte are
meant to be leaders among the awakened? And if so, why is it
impossible for them to be together?
A
mysterious tale of romance, seduction and betrayal that reaches just
enough into the modern mind to ask - will we learn the lessons of
Atlantis?

Symbiosis
Shadows
of Atlantis Book 2
The
spellbinding saga of Atlantis continues in Mara Powers' 2nd book.
The
memory of Brigitte’s upbringing in the Dreamclans slowly fades away
as she succumbs to the lavish lifestyle of her new home. Caught in
the grip of The Madness epidemic, she descends into an elixir-fueled
haze. It’s the only way to silence the judgmental voices in her
head. Outside the gilded walls, a looming storm encircles the city,
trapping its inhabitants as they remain blind to the treachery
within.
Meanwhile,
D’Vinid is reluctantly caught up in the unstoppable currents of
fate. A harrowing encounter with the murderous Shadowmancers launches
him on a perilous journey, while Symbiosis with his new soul-crystal
reveals clues to the corruption of the Crystal Grid. All paths lead
back into the forbidden arms of Brigitte. Is their union a beacon of
hope? Or will it unleash the Shadows of Atlantis?
In
this eagerly anticipated sequel to Shadows of Atlantis: Awakening,
Symbiosis follows the horrifying psychological descent of a falling
civilization. Utopia is dying - but how can they stop what they can’t
even see?
Mara
Powers is a rebel of the written word who has tackled the monumental
task of recreating Atlantis. When she was 16 in Fort Collins,
Colorado, she began visiting the library in search of things she
couldn't learn in school. Her goal was to re-define her religion. She
studied theology voraciously until she discovered the concept of
reincarnation though Hinduism. It was the answer to a lifelong
existential crisis that had plagued her for many sleepless nights.
The study of reincarnation led her to the channel Edgar Cayce. In his
many books, she found his past life readings of lifetimes spent in
Atlantis. This was the beginning of a lifelong quest to unravel the
secrets of this mystery. She has spent upwards of 30 years exploring
the labyrinth of ancient civilizations. Her decision to turn it all
into a high concept, visionary fantasy series stems from her study of
the esoteric depiction of Atlantis. With the other half of her
research rooted in the secular, it was the best way to illustrate
both aspects of this fascinating legend. Her work is the legacy of
the legend.
