"terrific romantic fantasy"
Otherworld Bureau of Investigation supervisor Jude Quinlan
assigns his best field agent Grayson James to retrieve the
Jewel of Dunmaris as referenced in the recently found
ancient tome Ra Dracus. All Gray has to do is go through
a portal in Florida waters that leads to the underwater
city of Atlantis, find the item that has incredible
paranormal powers, and return home. Jude insists this is
a cakewalk for the OBI top person in the cold or in this
case under the water. However, Gray immediately finds himself battling and
killing vampires, dragons, and demons. None of those
creatures scare him as much as the sexy woman speaking
inside his head. She tells him she has no name, but he
should call her Jewel. As they team up against all odds,
they fall in love, but she believes she can never leave
Atlantis while he knows he does not belong there. JEWEL OF ATLANTIS is a terrific romantic fantasy that sort
of reads like Die Hard enters a supernatural Shangri-La as
the fabulous hero sounds so much like John McClane while
trying to complete the mission yet stay alive against
creatures that come across as so real in Atlantis. Jewel
brings mystery as to whom and what she is. Fans who
appreciate something a bit different but quite
entertaining will want to trek with these two fabulous
protagonists as she escorts him to the portal, but during
that dangerous hike they fall in perhaps the vastest star-
crossed love conceivable. JEWEL OF ATLANTIS is fun for
fantasy and romance fans. Harriet Klausner
