The time is 2538, four hundred and ninety years after the ecological catastrophe known as the End. Earth and Mankind have
survived and a New World has replaced the Old one.
In this New World, the few remaining humans are content to live in and around their city of Atlantis 2 while alien species colonize the
Far Lands of the former Americas.
However, whereas the humans’ relationships with the aliens of the Galactic Coalition have always remained peaceful if distant
from the aliens' part, the situation is now strained. For the first time since The End, the humans are preparing to explore both the
sea and the stars.
In this time of unusual turmoil, Nya Pavlovsky, Princess of Mankind a.k.a. galactic ambassador-in-training, is about to take over her
mother's Duty. With the help of both her adoptive brother, Mykel Darewing, and her Syllin friend and fellow diplomat, Aenil Sy, the young
woman prepares for her upcoming challenge: to try and convince the aggressive Gorgons to allow her people to finally reach the stars of
the Coalition.
Unbeknown to her, though, her Destiny, as well as her friends' and people’s, are about to take most unexpected turns as the belligerent
Gorgons plan to attack them.
Meanwhile, further away, the well-concealed Syllin Supreme Ruler of the galaxy keeps a wary eye on the free humans of 5-B4
(a.k.a. Earth) for if they were to slip past his various means of deceit and control, they would lethally challenge his absolute,
unknown and based-on-lies hegemony of the whole universe.

Unfolding Destinies
A few months after the events of The Trial, the city of Atlantis 2 has more or less recovered from its challenge, but its inhabitants will never be the same. Friendships still have to be mended, griefs remain fresh to the memories and changes are unavoidable in more than one aspect of the world of Atlantis 2. Still, the call of the stars remain strong for Nya, Mykel and their companions and they eventually manage to return to them.
However, if their first trip to Gorgonite wasn't as peaceful as they had planned, their new expedition will teach them the true realities of space travel in enemy territory, as well as bring them down a path of adventure that will take them through space and time... and to the discovery of Aenil's secrets.
Will Nya`s and Aenil's friendship survive those revelations? Will they change the future or save the past and fight in the future ? And what other life-changing secrets will they discover while in the Old World that existed before The End?
Whatever their decisions, the world of Atlantis 2 will never be the same ever again...
