Publisher Description
"A mix of all the best aspects of fantasy. Written beautifully."
-Ella Dupuie, author of Fractures of the Fallen
The lost city of Atlantis was cursed to the sky, and it falls upon one girl, with the help of an Atlantian refugee and a ragtag band of space pirates, to return the magical city to the ground.
When an accident on the mainland leaves her parents dead and her sister in long term care, Ember Weathers is forced to drop out of school to run her parents' bookstore in Devil's Fork, Maine. Her only excitement is her pet dragon, who no one else can see. At least not until an attractive stranger named Shepherd walks in seeking her mother's art. Before she can get any answers from him, hellhounds chase them to the relative safety of a woman named Maryse, who turns out to be no friend at all, but another seeker of Atlantis who will do anything to see the island returned.
They're rescued by a band of space pirates led by Captain Hawkins who are ancestors of Atlantis that seek and protect survivors from the curse of the Atlantian King's brother. Ember has a choice to stay with this band of survivors or pursue the return of Atlantis. In her quest, she'll be forced to seek out Maryse, who holds her sister hostage, as well as discover the secrets of Shepherd's past, including the dark magic allowing him to live hundreds of years. In the end, it's Ember who must go alone if she's to free her sister and return the island of magic and love to the world.
Fans of Holly Black, Rebecca Ross, Sarah J. Maas, Lauren Roberts, Kiera Cass, Tracy Wolff, and Jennifer L. Armentrout will enjoy Amy Cip.

Beneath the Waves, Above the Stars: The Rebirth of Atlantis
Atlantis Rising is the story of Ember Weathers. She has suffered a traumatic loss of her parents and her sister, and then had to drop out of college in order to keep the family business running. While everything is falling apart around her, she can only take solace in her pet dragon that only shows itself to her. When a stranger enters the family bookstore seeking her mother, something draws her to this man, but an aura of danger also surrounds him. When hellhounds come after her and Shephard, they will have to escape to Maryse in order to survive.
Thrust into a world that she was not prepared for, Ember will have to put her trust in a band of pirates if she wants to survive this. Going into battle against dark magic and the threat of more loss, she will have to do everything she can to make it out of this alive.
Cip is a new-to-me author, and I am so glad that I picked this one up. The book, while YA, really kept me intrigued and became a real page turner. If you are looking for a book that blends numerous worlds, emotional depth, with just enough romance to keep you on your toes, then this is definitely one to add to your TBR. I hope this becomes a series, because I would love to know more!
