“Ancient historians lied. Modern historians play Chinese whispers. Now, it's time to tell you the true story of Lamia and her Knight - from the Garden of Eden to Ancient Rome.”
Anna Canić

Jennifer McKeithen
“Far, far out on the open sea a platform of stone held firm against the tossing waves. At first sight, it appeared as nothing out of the ordinary, other than that it lay in the middle of nowhere.
That was the view on the surface. Beneath the water existed an entirely alien world.”
Jennifer McKeithen, Atlantis: On the Shores of Forever
