Synopsis
The man becomes the god. The prophecy has been echoing in Gal’s mind for the last five years, whispering its potential, luring him with promises. But when Vorago, the ancient god who created Atlantis, returns to the island, everything Gal thought he knew about his destiny unravels. With a charm as ancient as the seas and an agenda hidden beneath layers of false friendship, Vorago whispers promises of greater power, tempting Gal to push the limits of the trident’s magic. As Gal’s arrogance grows, so does his distance from the people he loves most—his wife Una, his mentor Ford, and even his own family. The deeper Gal sinks into Vorago’s web of manipulation, the more the ocean’s true dangers are revealed. With gods like Tempest and Cascadia waiting in the wings, alliances shift and ancient powers awaken. When Gal begins to lose control of the very power he once mastered, he must ask Has he been fighting for Atlantis, or only for himself? As old gods rise and new alliances form, Gal must make an impossible choice—one that could destroy everything he’s fought for. Will Gal wield the trident to save his island…or will its power consume him?
