Story Behind The Book
At the moment of his world’s destruction, Arius chronicles the events of his disastrous last two weeks from the unsettled safety of his wrecked light-ship. Since birth Arius has been confused about his role as the future ruler of Atlantis. He soon discovers that an impossible task bestowed upon him and his friends by his father will test his resolve and trigger his ancestral DNA. The secret of the four truths is one that all leaders of Atlantis must endure. To come of age, Arius must do what is to be, and to start what now must be finished. On his adventure, he encounters four near-death experiences that change him, empower him and bring him closer to his destiny, to be the next ruler of his civilization, or if he fails, the bemused master of his own fate.
