After breaking ties with the deadly Pirate King, Dean Seaborne thought he had left his life of spying and pirating behind. But when the merciless thief Captain Skinner threatens Dean's allies, Dean agrees to one last job. Along with his trusted friends Ronan and Waverly, he agrees to help rob a sea-based resort for the richest of nobles. They'll pose as a band of traveling performers and then lead Skinner to the loot. But the moment Dean reaches the resort, the plan changes. The getaway is actually a gateway—to the undersea kingdom of Atlantis. And a civil war is brewing in the depths, with Dean soon to be caught in the middle of it. As his enemies multiply, above and below the waves, Dean finds himself in over his head like never before.

      A spy, a princess, and a pirate in search of adventure find more than they bargained for when they are kidnapped by a band of pirates and forced to accompany them on a dangerous quest in this sequel to The Lost Prince (2015).As a former spy for a pirate captain, Dean Seaborne is no stranger to the life of duplicity. So, when Skinner, a ruthless pirate, forces the trio of white adventurers to infiltrate a legendary fortress disguised as circus performers, Dean and his friends comply--but only until they can figure out a way to double-cross the pirates, warn the citizens, and gain freedom for another companion left behind as collateral. However, they find that the fortress is not what it seems. It is actually an outpost for the legendary city of Atlantis. Once below, they find that a race war among various "species" of Atlanteans is only barely subdued. All it will take is the arrival of the fair-skinned humans and the threat of betrayal from within to topple the hidden city. While racial tension as it plays out among various colors of mer-people might offer some valuable talking points, the flat secondary characters, unoriginal portrayal of Atlantis, and predictable plot twists rob the story of energy. A mixed continuation of a series that began with promise; here's hoping it picks back up with Volume 3. (Fantasy. 8-12)

      Dean, Ronan, and Waverly get themselves mixed up with some nasty pirates who force them to rob a fancy resort. Unfortunately, the trio ends up in Atlantis, in the middle of an attempted coup. While Ronan and Waverly remain underdeveloped characters, we do see some much-needed rounding out of Dean. The action is exciting, and the plot turns keep things moving.
