Brother and sister team Midnight and Aurora Pendragon have a successful airship business taking clients on trips to be photographed with their pet pterodactyl. The last thing they expect is to have one such trip hijacked by the dashing adventurer Voltaire Crevin and his right-hand man Trevilian Hawke. While his sister and Voltaire repeatedly lock horns, Midnight finds himself increasingly drawn to Trevilian. Finally, Voltaire explains they are trying to prevent a weapon of mass destruction from falling into the hands of a ruthless, secret organization, the S.O.R. With Midnight’s help, they take the airship down into an extinct volcano to find that not only does Atlantis still exist, but the weapon is in the hands of the few remaining Atlanteans. But if Voltaire had believed the S.O.R. were ruthless, it's nothing compared to that of the Atlanteans who seek to return to the surface and rule the world using their ultimate weapon: The Leviathan. Midnight’s feelings for Trevilian deepen as they seek a way to stop the Atlanteans and escape from Atlantis. Danger comes in many ways and takes many forms, each more deadly than the last. Can Midnight and Trevilian survive long enough to know whether love never dies?

Love Never Dies

“And who might you be?” At Voltaire’s question, Aurora turned to see a young woman, with the same silvery-grey skin as the guards approaching them.


“I’m Tsillah. I will take you to your suites. You are most welcome here and our rulers eagerly anticipate meeting you later, after you have had time to bathe, change, and refresh yourselves.”


They were led through the palace in silence and Aurora looked around as they followed the servant. It’s like the city; magnificent, opulent, and deserted. Where are the palace courtiers, and the servants?


There seemed little point in trying to engage Tsillah in conversation, but Aurora determined to get time alone with the woman, then question her.


“As I’m responsible for my passengers, I’d prefer that you settle them first and I shall wait until last.” Aurora leaned forward to address Tsillah who nodded.


In keeping with Aurora’s wishes, Tsillah stopped at a crossway and indicated two different passageways.
