Atlantis Rising Books in Order

Atlantis Rising is Evan Currie’s post-apocalyptic blend of military action and dark fantasy, set on an Earth where humanity already lost the war.

In The Knighthood, the setup is blunt: demons rule, cities are ruins, and the few human survivors are trying to hang on long enough to fight back. The “Atlantis” of the title is a refuge built to survive in a world that has stopped being hospitable, and it’s also a staging ground for the one thing the survivors still believe in, a rematch. The knighthood itself is less about shining armor and more about creating an organized force, people trained to leave safety behind, bring back supplies, and keep the community alive.

This series puts its characters in a constant survival dilemma. Stay behind walls and slowly run out of options, or push into demon-held territory and risk everything on missions that might not come back. The action has a military feel, with planning, squads, and clear objectives, but the opposition is supernatural enough that no plan ever feels completely safe. Even inside Atlantis, there’s pressure, fear, and disagreement about how aggressive the fight-back strategy should be.

Elanthielle becomes a key viewpoint as the story opens up. In The Demon City, she’s haunted by vivid dreams of a demonic stronghold, and the question is whether those visions are warning, manipulation, or an opportunity. Her role isn’t only to swing a blade or pull a trigger. It’s to help decide what the dreams mean, who should be trusted with them, and whether the information is worth the risk of acting on it.

The missions that follow aren’t just about killing monsters. They’re about information, finding out how the enemy thinks, what it wants, and whether humans can exploit the cracks in a system built to crush them. Currie balances the immediate dangers of each expedition with the longer arc of building a resistance that can actually hold ground, not just survive one night at a time. The tone is adventurous but grim, and when victories happen, they tend to come with trade-offs, new enemies, new costs, new choices that can’t be undone.

Hope is the most dangerous resource.

If you want a series that reads like a resistance campaign in a demon-occupied world, Atlantis Rising delivers. Start with The Knighthood for the fall-and-rebuild premise, then move into The Demon City as the story widens beyond simple defense and into the risky business of taking the fight back to the enemy.
