"Will a disgraced warrior save the day and win the heart of the woman he loves?"

After seeing her people safely through the transport to their home world, Ariel the seer remains to look for the self-exiled warrior left behind. Unfortunately, when she returns to the village, the evil professor Rumsinger and his henchmen are waiting for her. Without the ability to use her defensive powers, Ariel is forced to endure the torture as she mentally calls out for Coridan. And just who is the warrior starring in her sexual dreams? She's forbidden to mate, as seer for her people.

Coridan has left his people in disgrace after his rash actions nearly kill a fellow warrior. He knows he will die alone, with no one mourning his loss. Then he starts to hear faint mental calls for help. He must be imagining things. There are no more Atlanteans on Earth, right? When he starts dreaming of a sexual partner unlike any he's known before, Coridan senses that she's his true-mate. But he can't see her face. Just who is she?

Coridan journeys back to the abandoned village, spurred onward by the scent of the Atlantean heat of his woman. As his journey progresses, he finally is able to see the face of his true-mate. Coridan knows that Ariel the seer is forbidden to take a mate, but he doesn't care about that. He no longer belongs to any people, so he can mate with whom he pleases. Besides, true-mates cannot be denied. Ariel will have to learn to accept this.

As time ticks by, the professor comes closer to learning the secrets of the Atlanteans. Will Coridan reach Ariel in time? Will they be able to stop the professor? Or will their sexual battles interfere? Will Ariel accept Coridan as her true-mate?

REDEMPTION is the third story in the Atlantean series. Ms. Summers redeems Coridan, showing that he is just a much a hero as any of his fellow warriors. More so, in fact. Finally, the amoral Dr. Rumsinger is stopped from his attempts to exploit the Atlantean people for his own gain. This latest in the series can stand alone, but readers will get the most enjoyment if they read the previous two entries prior to reading this one. Another winner from Ellora's Cave!
