Mani, a Canadian librarian, tells of how many years ago, the people of Atlantis were forced to leave the earth to establish a colony in space to escape annihilation. They eventually settled on the isolated planet of Sasgorg. After several millennia of peace, the Evil Queen took control and destroyed the balance between good and evil. Fifty years under her rule has passed, and the very survival of the last descendants of Atlantis is threatened. Their destiny rests on the unknowing shoulders of Tinay, a young Atlantean. She must undergo the traditional rite of passage to become an apprentice artisan, while unwittingly being trained to become a warrior. Tinay's destiny is to overthrow the Evil Queen and restore balance to her people but is a fourteen-year-old up to the task?
