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

With a smile, Midnight gazed with pride at the table on which the wedding cakes were displayed. There were the traditional three cakes. One had charms attached to ribbons baked into it and after the ceremony, the closest family members would each pull a ribbon. The charm would foretell the future to bring good luck. The groom’s cake was a rich, dark fruitcake with icing. Lucy will ensure that the third cake will be cut in pieces and distributed to the guests as they departed


As he checked off everything in his mind, Midnight’s nerves gradually eased. He took a deep, cleansing breath at the sight of the vibrant garlands of foliage and flowers which hung from tree to tree to mark the aisle for the wedding procession. The festoons, brightly coloured furthest away, incrementally increased in more traditional white up to a few yards of the place chosen for the ceremony.
