TA Barron’s Atlantis Rising to be Released in Paperback Along With Companion E-book, Never Again: The Origin of Grukarr
Revealing Villain’s Painful Past
NEW YORK, NY, September 10, 2014 – Atlantis Rising by T.A. Barron, the first book in an exciting new trilogy about the origin of the legendary isle of Atlantis that Publishers Weekly calls “inventive and entertaining,” will be released in paperback on September 25, 2014. Aimed at readers ages 9 and up, Atlantis Rising inspires readers to examine real-life issues of bravery, honesty, loyalty, and conservation—themes T.A. Barron consistently explores in his work.
Atlantis Rising follows the adventure of a young boy, Promi, and his friend, Atlanta, in their quest to save their magical homeland from ruin. The two young characters battle Grukarr, the evil Deputy High Priest, and set off a chain of events that lead to the creation of Atlantis.
The scoundrel Grukarr, however, takes center stage in the simultaneously released companion story Never Again: The Origin of Grukarr. Ever wonder what makes a villain so despicable? Fans will discover how Grukarr lost his humanity and what event spurred him to become the sinister villain that Promi battles in order to save the magical world of Ellegandia. The e-book will be available for free at www.tabarron.com leading up to the release and appears in print for the first time in the paperback edition.
“Every character, including the villain, has a back story,” says Barron. “Grukarr’s upbringing is an important reminder that people are a culmination of their experience. I hope this story of Grukarr's secret past will make him even more intriguing to my readers.”
