Atlantis Rising

The lost city of Atlantis was cursed to the sky, and it falls upon one girl, with the help of an Atlantian refugee and a ragtag band of space pirates, to return the magical city to the ground. When an accident on the mainland leaves her parents dead and her sister in long-term care, Ember Weathers is forced to drop out of school to run her parents' bookstore in Devil's Fork, Maine. Her only excitement is her pet dragon, who no one else can see. At least not until an attractive stranger named Shepherd walks in seeking her mother's art. Before she can get any answers from him, hellhounds chase them to the relative safety of a woman named Maryse, who turns out to be no friend at all, but another seeker of Atlantis who will do anything to see the island returned. They're rescued by a band of space pirates led by Captain Hawkins who are ancestors of Atlantis that seek and protect survivors from the curse of the Atlantian King's brother. Ember has a choice to stay with this band of survivors or pursue the return of Atlantis. In her quest, she'll be forced to seek out Maryse, who holds her sister hostage, as well as discover the secrets of Shepherd's past, including the dark magic allowing him to live hundreds of years. In the end, it's Ember who must go alone if she's to free her sister and return the island of magic and love to the world. Fans of Holly Black, Rebecca Ross, Sarah J.
