Synopsis

The Atlas Paradox continues directly from The Atlas Six, following the surviving initiates of the Alexandrian Society as the fallout from their first year deepens. Nico, one of the physicists among the original six, gains the unusual ability to move through collective dream realms and uses it in an attempt to reach his imprisoned friend and rival Libby Rhodes, who has gone missing under circumstances tied to the Society's inner workings. As the group is drawn further into the ambitions of Atlas Blakely, the enigmatic figure who oversees the Society, the remaining initiates must reckon with just how much power -- and how much danger -- their new positions have actually given them, and with the widening rifts within their own ranks.

Notes

  • From the series record (The Atlas Six): A dark-academia secret-society trilogy about six magicians competing for a place in an ancient magical archive; originally self-published in 2020, later acquired and reissued by Tor/Macmillan.

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
