Dreams of the Damned is the third installment in author Lindsey Fairleigh's Atlantis Legacy series. The story picks up shortly after the ending of Fate of the Fallen. 4 days ago, 26-year old Cora Blackthorn consciousness was fully merged with Persephone, an Olympian warrior of the order of Amazon, in order to save her life. This makes for some interesting story lines since Cora has a crush on Raiden, while Peri finds that Hades makes her heart beat faster.
For someone who was basically shuttered in doors for most of her life, fearing human touch would knock her unconscious, Cora combining with a battle hardened warrior like Peri gives her an actual chance to survive against her enemies. What we've learned. 12,000 years ago, a ship called Tartarus brought Peri's people to Earth after escaping an enemy called Tsakali. The Tsakali drover the Olympians from their home, and infected them with nano-virus to make them permanently infertile.
The Tsakali have someone found out that there is a technology on Earth that they would love to get their hands on. It is estimated that they will reach Earth within two months if not sooner. Meanwhile, Hades technology that allows him to travel between universes. All he needs is a Chaos Stone which is a unique, sustainable power source that the Tsakali coveted. There is a Chaos Stone being created by the team at CERN under the name Project Atlantea. In order to get the stone, Hades suggests telling the United Nations of the threat to the planet and ask for assistance.
Which means dealing once again with Henry Magnusson and Custodes Veritatis who Cora has had numerous encounters with. Since the beginning of this series, Henry has been obsessed with Cora going as far as calling her ancient one. Humanities greatest weakness is fearing what they don't understand. Custodes Veritatis mission is to protect humanity from the truth that humans are not alone in the universe. One could say that the United Nations is a bureaucratic behemoth which has outlived its usefulness and instead of paying attention to threats to the planet, they are more interested in what Cora is able to do.
Thanks to some misguided thinking by Hades, Cora once again finds herself batting for survival while also enjoying the fact that she can now make herself invisible with her stone regulator and hoplon suit. Cora isn't alone with her abilities. She's added Meg, a talented psychic warrior who has a lethal case of solar urticaria which means all of her activities come at night. Cora's group also includes Fiona, Emi, Meg, and mother Diana. After yet another confrontation with Henry, readers learn why the Tsakali are on the way to Earth.
The one thing that we are learning along the way is that Cora/Peri needs to really examine their relationship with Hades. We discover that Hades has done some unfortunate things in the past 12,000 years which has lead to some of Peri's spear sisters being abandoned with no hopes of being rescued. I do hope Cora/Peri wake up to the fact that Hades shouldn't be fully trusted. I hope that in the next installment, we get to meet more of Cora/Peri's spear sisters, especially those not infected with the nano virus.
