In the desert of Western Kemp, hidden within the towering cliffs, lies the legendary Temple of Akh-Neteru: a place of ancient wisdom and forbidden knowledge. Carved seamlessly into the mountainside, the temple houses the lost secrets of the afterlife, creation, and enlightenment. For centuries, it has remained a myth, a whispered legend among those who traverse the desolate sands.

For a small group of initiates, the temple's sacred truths are within reach. Hathor, a celestial falcon halfbreed with a mysterious heritage. Gavriel, a devoted warrior torn by doubt. Oronos, a former acolyte from Atlantis. Nalini, a grieving widow desperate to resurrect her lost husband. Drawn together in pursuit of the ultimate knowledge of life and death, they uncover ancient texts and secrets long buried.

In a reimagining of "The Divine Comedy," four souls journey through a metaphysical underworld and higher realms shaped by ancient myths and world religious traditions. As they navigate these realms, they uncover hidden truths about Atlantis, setting the stage for their awakening and the fate of the world.

But the temple is not without its dangers. Forces beyond their comprehension are awakening, and as Atlantis teeters on the brink of collapse, they must decide how far they are willing to go for the knowledge they seek. Can the boundaries between life and death be undone, or is there a reason the afterlife must remain untouched?

With the fate of Atlantis hanging in the balance, the four initiates must confront their deepest fears, their desires, and their devotion to the Truth.

****
"The Guardians of Atlantis" is a science fantasy novella set in the Third World Universe created by author Sunny Ghauri. Though it runs parallel to the events in the novel "The Sky Gods of Atlantis," this story stands on its own as a tale of power, loss, and the eternal struggle between life and death.

🏆 Chosen as Sci-Fi Story of the Month by Wattpad's @ScienceFiction. 🏆 Featured on Wattpad's @ShortStory. 🏆X3 Awarded Best Science Fiction 🏆 Chosen as Book of the Month by @CroodsGirl Shadow and Steel: A Sci-Fi Short Story Series. In a time when mankind has reached the stars, the light of progress does not shine upon all. On the fringes of known space, survival is a brutal dance of skill, cunning, and ruthlessness. Meet a hustler chasing the next score; a doctor trying to mend a broken world; an enforcer wrestling his demons; and a pilot who bends the rules of the sky. Each fights their own battles, until their lives become entangled in a web of dangerous alliances, shifting loyalties, and interstellar power struggles. Caught between blaster shoot-outs, high-speed starship chases and an unforgiving universe that devours the weak, the line between good and evil is as blurred as the stars themselves. Because in the dark corners of space, you either bleed out in Shadow or carve your path on Steel.
