A Destiny That Can't Be Escaped
There was no turning back. We were going to set into motion a revolution that could either save Atlantis or leave it destroyed in the process.
Sixteen-year-old Trey Atlas' known life is a lie. While he was raised in Miami, Trey was actually born in Atlantis. Sent off the legendary island as a baby for his own safety, Trey is the only living heir to the Atlantean throne. Whether he likes it or not, Trey has to go back to his birthplace and accept his role as the Ruling Prince and lead the revolution to defeat the Knights of the Abyss. Otherwise, thousands of innocent lives and his true family legacy could be lost forever.
The second book in the series is Echinodea.

But if Trey steps down, the Knights would take over Atlantis and destroy everything it stands for; including erasing Trey's mysterious past. So there's only one option--get to the Echinodea before the Knights of the Abyss.
While on their search for the Echinodea, Trey and his Royal Court meet someone who claims to have the information Trey seeks about his biological family. But the key to the mystery isn't what he hoped it would be. It turns out that the secret in Trey's blood could steal the very throne he fights to protect.

Author Bio
Tom didn’t live the typical life of a writer. He HATED to write---and read---throughout
elementary and middle school. He never
imagined growing up to spend every waking minute thinking about writing or
devouring the latest young adult novel.
And it wasn’t due to lack of effort on his parents’ part. His mother was--and still is--an avid reader
and read to Tom every chance she had.
But he wouldn’t have any of it.
That’s not to say that Tom didn’t have a vivid imagination--he most
certainly did, he just didn’t want to use it to write.
In 1997, when Tom was thirteen years old, he read “Where the
Red Fern Grows” in English class and was given the task to do a project based
on the book. Tom and his best friend
wrote a play based on the book and then a group of their friends performed it for
their English class. Their teacher
enjoyed it and told Tom and his friend that they should try to write a
book. It was the challenge that would
change Tom’s life forever.
The two boys spent every afternoon homeroom period working
on their very first book. At the same
time, Tom’s father was diagnosed with sarcoidosis--a severely damaging lung
disease--and given three years to live without a transplant. As their family dealt with the ramifications
of waiting for the call that would save his dad’s life, Tom found himself
getting lost in worlds and befriending characters that he created. It didn’t take long for writing stories to
become a passion for Tom. In 2000, when
Tom was 16, his dad received the lung that saved his life.
By the time he graduated high school, Tom had written three
books in the Time Warriors Legacy with his best friend Chris Wolf. And while he attended college to become a
biology teacher, Tom spent time writing the fourth book in the Time Warriors
Legacy and branched out to write a science-fiction novel for
adults--Perfection. Even at that point
in time, Tom still didn’t enjoy reading for pleasure. But one weekend in the middle of his college
years, Tom picked up a suspense book by Erica Spindler. By the end of the weekend, he finished the
book and went in search of others by the author. Quickly reading all of her books, Tom looked
for other authors and ended up finding the work of James Patterson and other
suspense writers.
With his new fascination with suspense books, Tom set out to
write one of his own. The product was
The Man in the Moon--the first Lindsey Scott Thrillstery. First published in 2007, The Man in the Moon
was a sem-finalist in the 2008 Allbooksreview contest. Tom then continued the Lindsey Scott series
with a short story, Once Upon a Midnight, and the second book in the series,
Watched (2008).
In June 2009, Tom released the first book he wrote, Time
Warriors: Induction. But during that
summer, Tom’s father grew severely ill from sarcoidosis--the lung disease he’d
been battling for many years. His father
lost his battle in September 2009 and Tom stopped all writing and publishing
ventures with no immediate plans to return.
Luckily, a seed had already been planted. The very early ideas for The Atlantis
Revolution were coming together before Tom’s dad died and he stopped
writing. Within a year, Tom returned
with Hippocampus (The First Book of the Atlantis Revolution)--which he posted
on Textnovel, Inkpop, and Authonomy to get feedback. Throughout the rest of 2010 and 2011,
Hippocampus garnered acclaim and awards.
It was a Textnovel Editor’s Choice and the Semi-finalist in the 2010
Textnovel Contest. The early draft of
the book also made it into the top 150 of Inkpop (now Figment). And it received dozens of positive reviews
from readers and writers everywhere.
With all of the positive support behind the work, Tom
decided to venture back to publishing and, in April 2012, Hippocampus made it
to the world. In September of that year,
Hippocampus went international with publication in Indonesia. Following up on the success of the first
book, Tom published Echinodea in April 2013 and is currently writing the third
and final book of The Atlantis Revolution.
Tom has sixteen years of writing experience, six years of
publishing experience, multiple accolades, and his work has been translated and
sold into another language--and he’s only 29 years old. One can only imagine what’s in store for Tom
and his work in the next sixteen years.
In addition to writing, Tom is a 7th grade biology teacher
and the science content leader for his school.
He enjoys almost all types of music, loves to read young adult books,
spends a lot of time with his family, and watches action/adventure, sci-fi, and
fantasy movies. He calls Pennsylvania
home, where he shares a house with a black cat named Govie and a green-cheek
conure named Harley.
