An Island that Shouldn't Exist...

A Life He Didn't Know...

A Destiny That Can't Be Escaped

There was no turning back.  We were going to set into motion a revolution that could either save Atlantis or leave it destroyed in the process.

Sixteen-year-old Trey Atlas' known life is a lie.  While he was raised in Miami, Trey was actually born in Atlantis.  Sent off the legendary island as a baby for his own safety, Trey is the only living heir to the Atlantean throne.  Whether he likes it or not, Trey has to go back to his birthplace and accept his role as the Ruling Prince and lead the revolution to defeat the Knights of the Abyss.  Otherwise, thousands of innocent lives and his true family legacy could be lost forever.  

Reviews of Hippocampus

"Watch out Harry Potter, here comes Trey Atlas. An imaginative beginning of what could become the next YA epic series."
-Kidd1 on Authonomy.com

"This is fantastic. It's faintly reminiscent of Percy Jackson, but somehow punchier and more immediate. I definitely think this has got what it takes to take the market by storm. Fabulous work."
-A Knight on authonomy.com

Great premise for a broad legendary canvas- there's nothing like a lost civilisation to fire the imagination.. The writing is solid, flowing and sharp. the characters are crafted well and people you want to journey with.
-Owen Quinn on authonomy.com

What great characters, written into a highly imaginative storyline. Very much like the contrast you build between Trey's world and the beginning it makes the crossing over very powerful. Great story well told.
-Famlavan on authonomy.com

This is a fantastic reworking of ancient themes and modern interests.
-Jane Bain on authonomy.com

I love the world you've created. Your writing is descriptive, clear, and to the point. Excellent imagination. Being a writer of fantasy/sci fi myself, I try to read and support as many well written ones on this site that I can. I hope this work does well and people give it a chance.
-Natalie Jones on authonomy.com

It's easy to understand why this is getting strong support from young readers. The swashbuckling Knights take on a sorceress and her love, battling to his death and her escape. Such bitter tragedy leaves so many possibilities for fair Aerian. And then, the plan is added. Brilliant.
-Star Gazer on inkpop.com

What an original, well-crafted story! You must read a great deal of myth and old-world stories, as much as new-age ones, to combine the two themes to make your great tale. You write everything well, from dialogue to the paragraphs surrounding it / drawing it all together.
-Kevin Wong on inkpop.com

Your premise is so incredibly unique and your writing is generally strong as well. this is a really clever and original book. you have plenty of great things going for you here. I like your characters, especially Aerian (beautiful name btw) This was a great read.
-Carrie L McRae on inkpop.com

Great story! I love the quick pace and all the action.

Trey Atlas

Sixteen-year-old Trey Atlas’ good looks, ocean blue eyes, and great personality all help him maintain his status as one of the most popular students in school.  However, Trey’s known life is a lie.  While he was raised in Miami, Trey was born in Atlantis.  Sent off the legendary island as a baby for his own safety, Trey is now the only living heir to the Atlantean throne.  Whether he likes it or not, Trey is the Ruling Prince of Atlantis and responsible for leading the revolution to defeat the Knights of the Abyss.  In the process of saving an island he knows nothing about—but is connected to by birth—, Trey has to piece together his family history in order to find out about his own mysterious past.   

Jocasta

Not much is known about the most powerful sorceress in Atlantean history, other than the fact that she, for some reason, shares a hatred for Atlantis with the Knights of the Abyss.  Jocasta has the ability to bring abiotic items to life and she has been known to do the reverse as well.  Both spells require very advanced magic and skill and, the fact that she is able to cast them, should worry her foes.

Knights of the Abyss

 An underground organization with a hatred for Atlantis’ lush history, the Knights of the Abyss have one goal—destroy all that is Atlantis.  Composed of Atlantean civilians, soldiers, and elites, the Knights have endless resources and connections to the island they want to destroy.

Ries

Ries is a high-ranking Atlantean soldier that saves Trey and Oaren from the Knights when they first visit the Capitol city.  When the Knights attack the boys again, this time deep in the Atlantean forests, Ries leads a group of soldiers to help.  He then becomes Trey's chief military advisor and the one responsible for leading the war against the Knights of the Abyss.

Troy

A well-trained Atlantean soldier, Troy is assigned by Ries to protect the Prince at all times and at any cost.  No more than ten years older than the Prince he protects, Troy forms a bond with Trey.  Troy even becomes responsible for training the young Prince for battle. 

Aerian

Aerian is a seventeen-year-old sorceress from a long line of sorcerers that served the Atlantean royals.  But she is more than a servant to the current royal family because her boyfriend was Prince Jendrick (grandson of the ruling Prince and Princess).  When the Knights of the Abyss attacked the palace, Aerian witnessed the people closest to her get killed and found herself kidnapped.  Calling on the only living heir to the throne—Trey Atlas—Aerian finds herself once again loyal to a ruler and guilty about her feelings toward the new Prince.

Oaren

With dirty blond hair, blue eyes, and a strong work ethic and loyalty to the kingdom, fourteen-year-old Oaren is a typical Atlantean boy. The only child of a farming family, Oaren is responsible for the regular farm chores.  When Trey Atlas shows up on the island, Oaren is more than happy to change his own destiny by helping the new Prince find his way around the island.  Oaren’s help and loyalty prove most beneficial—and crucial—to the new Prince.
