| Magda, a marine historian, finds a strange, glowing orb while diving off Bimini in the Bahamas. Researching the artifact, where it could have come from and what it might be using ancient documents of a local library, she is attacked by two assassins dressed in leather coats with metallic silver eyes. She narrowly escapes death at their hands with the sudden appearance and help of an unusual man, who is very similar to the silver-eyed assassins. However, this incredible man proves to be from a different mold.
Magda is immediately attracted to this man with a soft and caring nature and the body of a warrior. Finding her ex-boyfriend is on the island, trying once again to steal another one of her incredible discoveries, her new mysterious savior rescues her from him as well. Determined to ascertain what she has found, she finds she's in the center of a war between Fae courts thousands of years old that now threatens not only their world of fabled Atlantis but the human world as well. It seems Atlantis is real, but the Fae have hidden it in a veiled mist that is controlled by the orb Magda has found. To intensify the mystery, Magda is the only one who seems to hold the key to the orb. With the ancient war between good and evil Fae on the verge of final and civil war she holds the answers in her “human” hands. Moving Atlantis is a cute, fast and slightly erotic fairly tale. With some research done on one angle of where the true Atlantis might have been located, the author chose to have it populated by the Fae. Without the one full love scene at the beginning that is abruptly presented and the slight hint of some BDSM, it would be a good story for the younger set. The idea is interesting, explaining why the term Atlantis is found in so many cultures. Magda, is an remarkable heroine, spunky one moment, passive the next and the only one who can control the orb.
