Synopsis
Atlan is a 290 page conventional fantasy novel written by the British author Jane Gaskell and first published in 1965. It is the third book in Gaskell's five volume series entitled the Atlan Saga. It follows The Serpent and the Dragon, and it comes before The City and Some Summer Lands. The Summary by St. Martins reads as follows: ATLAN is the third installment of Jane Gaskell's marvelous ATLAN SAGA. In the first two volumes, THE SERPENT and THE DRAGON the lusty heroine Cija is handed over as a hostage to the terrible man-serpent of darkness, Zerd. Cija struggles and plots against him to thwart his conquest of Atlan, the mysterious land of magic and sorcery beyond the earth's horizon. In ATLAN, the unthinkable has come to pass: Zerd is the Emperor of Atlan. Cija finds herself the unwilling spouse of Zerd; and hence, the unwilling Empress and defiler of a kingdom she has sought all along to preserve. She finds herself once more plunged into the perils of war and destruction as she struggles desperately to rid Atlan of the invaders. War rages across the continent of Atlan, as Zerd fights to keep what he has conquered. Once again, Jane Gaskell's fertile imagination and spellbinding storytelling skills enmesh the reader into Cija's plight. Like THE SERPENT and THE DRAGON, ATLAN will entrance fantasy fans everywhere. Jane Gaskell has confirmed her place as one of the greatest writers this genre has ever known. As Zerd's armies of men continue to battle and slay, the secret heart of the enchanted land weaves its magic But when will the moment of Ancient Atla come to awaken and purge the invader from its shores?
