The Books

Mani, a Canadian librarian, tells of how, many years ago, the people of Atlantis were forced to leave the earth to establish a colony in space to escape annihilation. They eventually settled on the isolated planet of Sasgorg. After several millennia of peace, the Evil Queen took control and destroyed the balance between good and evil. Fifty years under her rule has passed, and the very survival of the last of the descendants of Atlantis is threatened. Their destiny rests on the unknowing shoulders of Tinay, a young Atlantean. She must undergo the traditional rite of passage to become an apprentice artisan while unwittingly being trained to become a warrior. Tinay's destiny is to overthrow the Evil Queen and restore to her people, but is a fourteen-year-old up to the task?

Tinay is now a fifteen-year-old girl and is starting her apprenticeship as an artist on the Atlantis survivor colony planet Os. Separated from her family, she discovers how the evil queen's decisions have led society to disaster. She witnesses poverty, hunger, diseases, along with the privileged and gluttons. She gets her first glimpse of the evil queen. She will be in contact with the members of the resistance, innocently at first, and caught in the dilemma to watch from the sidelines or to join in. She needs to figure out what she will fight for, whom she will side with.She is conflicted on determining what is right, wrong, or the acceptable gray area. Her confusion reaches a new height after she learns her friendis condemned to death for reading a controversial poem that supports the resistance. She decides that should he die, his poem should be heard, and she takes her first step as a member of the resistance. Tinay will need to dig deep and help those she comes to know to save them from a horrible fate. She'll help heal thequeen's victim, but is she strong enough to restore balance?

"At night, I was forced back into the house for dinner and then followed the routine bath and going to bed. I remember feeling so alone and disconnected from everyone there. I was an orphan amongst them all. I couldn't relate to them, their experience and their interaction they had with each other. I was blonde with green eyes while they had blue or brown eyes and dark hair. I figured I was probably adopted and that would explain why my mother was so spiteful towards me. Many a night, I would sit by the bedroom window, pull my blind over my head and look at the stars. I would talk to the stars knowing others were there, listening to me, those who really knew me, my real family, asking and begging them to let me go back home. I wanted nothing to do with this life, I couldn't understand what was expected of me. These strangers that kept me confused and scared. I wanted to feel whole and loved again, I knew that on the other side of this dimension, amongst the stars, where my soul would be reunited to my higher-self, I could feel loved in the presence of mother/father God."
