When Atlantis Calls

A lost treasure.

A relentless enemy.

In a world of secrets,
will she be his greatest ally—or his most dangerous foe?

In the devastating Battle of Sedan in 1940, France lost more than its territory to the Germans. It lost its pride and its famous way of life to a brutal and merciless regime.

But for a soldier, the war doesn't end on the battlefield.

Struggling to come to terms with the ghosts of his fallen comrades, men lost under his command, and the images that refuse to leave his mind, Lieutenant Nicolas Valerius Durand thinks he's found a safer way to serve: protecting priceless artefacts from the Reich as the Nazis seek to plunder and destroy France's cultural heritage, erase the nation's identity and history, and use the stolen treasures to fuel their own propaganda and ideology.
But when Paulus Jaeger, a reclusive Swiss physics professor with a secret, reaches out to Nicolas, he's brutally silenced by the Gestapo before he can reveal the truth. And as if life wasn't complicated enough, he meets Isabell, his new Resistance contact, whose strong will and radiant smile pierce the armor of his troubled soul. As they work together to uncover the secrets behind Paulus's death, Nicolas finds himself drawn to the bravery and beauty of this breathtaking woman.

Yet, with the Gestapo and Hitler's own organisation Ahnenerbe closing in, Nicolas must decide whether to continue his quiet life as a historian and art collector, or join the armed resistance group "The Musketeers" in Paris. And all too soon he realizes he's hunting something far more dangerous than art.

From the peaceful coastlines of southern France to the shadowy depths of the Parisian catacombs, When Atlantis Calls is a spellbinding tale of romance, redemption, and courage in the darkest of times.

Join the journey and discover 
why some treasures are worth dying for.
