Series background & context
The Web of Light books tell an Atlantean fantasy story of divided families, temple power, rival spiritual traditions, and a civilization moving toward disaster. The two novels, Web of Light and Web of Darkness, were also collected as The Fall of Atlantis.
At the center are two sisters, Domaris and Deoris.
Domaris is connected to the Temple of Light and to a life shaped by duty, learning, and restraint. Her world changes when Micon, an Atlantean prince with unusual powers, enters it. Deoris is drawn down a much darker path, and the sisters' choices become tangled with larger struggles over power, desire, and the future of Atlantis.
The setting is grand, but the conflict remains close to the characters. Priests, rulers, and sorcerers all claim to understand what the world needs, while family loyalties and romantic attachments make those claims harder to trust. The novels are interested in how idealism can become control, and how private betrayals can help push a whole society toward catastrophe.
Atlantis is already cracking.
Read Web of Light before Web of Darkness for the clearest emotional arc. This page explains the order and the connection to the wider Avalon-adjacent mythology, while keeping the focus on the sisters and the dangerous choices that shape their world.
