All Atlantis seeks the Jewel of Dunamis, which legend claims can overcome any enemy. Grayson James, human agent of the ultra-secret Otherworld Bureau of Investigation, has orders to keep it from the wrong hands--or destroy it. What he doesn't know is that Jewel is a woman, not a stone! But once he meets this precious gem, destroying her is the last thing on his mind....

Jewel, part goddess, part prophet, is a pawn in Atlantis's constant power struggles. She needs Gray's help to win freedom and uncover the secrets of her mysterious origins. Gray needs her wisdom to navigate monster-ridden Atlantis. But need blossoms into passionate love as they fight demons, dragons, vampires--and a prophecy that says the bond between them could destroy them both.

Migliore del primo dal punto di vista stilistico; come previsto.
Gena Showalter fa sempre così, non ci resta che attendere il terzo per veder confermate le nostre speranze.

Personalmente, come coppia, mi son piaciuti molto. Lui: brillante, ironico e sexy. Lei: fragile, testarda e sbarazzina.

Punti deboli? Lei vuole fare sesso con Gray. Perchè? perchè lo ama. Stop. E' tutto quello che dobbiamo sapere. Vorrebbe fare sesso con Gray anche durante una battaglia! Ah, giusto, non ha mai avuto un uomo questa fanciulla... Vi sembra normale? Senza contare che lui le ripete ogni due su tre che non resterà ad Atlantide, allora perchè? Cosa la spinge a farsi male?

Altro punto negativo: deus ex machina. Perchè il vampiro, il Re dei vampiri, li aiuta? Vogliamo un perchè!

Finale: brutto e scontato. Ci piacciono i "bei finali" ma no se devono essere banali, banali e banali.

Però, nonostante ciò... tre stelline. Gray è magnifico *_*

Všichni Atlanťané hledají Klenot z Dunamisu, o kterém legendy prohlašují, že přemůže veškeré nepřátele. Grayson James, lidský agent ultra-tajného Nadpozemského Vyšetřovacího Úřadu má rozkazy, aby jej držel pryč od špatných rukou - nebo jej zničil. Co neví je, že Klenot je žena, ne kámen! A jakmile potká tento vzácný klenot, její zničení je to poslední, na co myslí…

Jewel, z části bohyně, z části prorok, je pěšákem v neutichajících mocenských bojích v Atlantě. Potřebuje Grayovu pomoc, aby vyhrála svobodu a konečně odhalila tajemství o svém tajemném původu.

Gray potřebuje jejímoudrost, aby mohl vést Atlantská monstra. Ale potřeba vykvete do vášnivé lásky, zatímco oba bojují proti démonům, drakům, upírům - a proroctví říká, že pouto mezi nimi je může oba zničit. ( )

The second book in the Atlantis series. Atlantis is a world hidden below the ocean by the gods to contain all of their creations before the humans. The only way in is to discover one of two secret portals...guarded by men that can change into dragons and are ordered to kill all who try to come in.

Grayson James has managed to sneak through these fearsome guardians (not sure how) in search of the mythical Jewel of Dunamis. A jewel that has the power to tell the future, read minds, and separate lies from truth. His company wants to get the jewel before some government can get ahold of it and use it to their advantage during a war. Now, this reason seemed a little far fetched, because if no one can get to Atlantis to retrieve the jewel, then how can they use it? But, OK, I went with it.

Grayson soon realizes that the Jewel of Dunamis is not a gem, but a beautiful woman that is being held against her will by the demoms (one of the many creatures living in Atlantis), to take advantage of her gifts. This being a romance, sparks fly when they meet and Grayson must find a way to rescue her and keep her with him always.

I really enjoyed a lot of the tensions between Atlantean races the author allowed to spring up throughout the story. From dragon men, mermaids, gorgons, minotaurs, demons and vampires, they all had reasons for wanting the jewel in their hand and their reactions to her were unique and real. I enjoyed her character very much, while I found Grayson a little dull. It was a great read to follow up the first book, Heart of the Dragon, and parts of the storyline stem directly from the events that ended the first in the series (which I have found is unusual in romance series).
