Atlantia is a mythical continent that has captured the imagination of people for centuries. According to the legend, it was a powerful and advanced civilization that existed thousands of years ago, but was eventually destroyed in a cataclysmic event. The story of Atlantia has fascinated historians, archaeologists, and writers alike, leading to numerous theories and speculations about its existence and downfall. The curse of Atlantia is a concept that has emerged from these theories and speculations. It suggests that the destruction of Atlantia was not a mere natural disaster, but rather a result of a curse placed upon the continent by the gods or other supernatural beings. The curse is believed to be responsible for the sudden and catastrophic demise of Atlantia, wiping out its civilization and leaving no trace behind.

Join us for a magical evening with New York Times bestselling author Lana Harper as she discusses the enchanting third installment of her immensely popular The Witches of Thistle Grove series, Back in a Spell .

Back in a Spell follows Nineve Blackmoore and even though she won’t deny her love for pretty (and pricey) things, Nineve Blackmoore (known by Nina by most) is almost painfully down-to-earth and sensible by Blackmoore standards. But after a year of nursing a broken heart inflicted by the fiancée who all but ditched her at the altar, the powerful witch is sick of feeling low and is ready to try something drastically different: a dating app.

At her best friend’s urging, Nina goes on a date with Morty Gutierrez, the nonbinary, offbeat soul of spontaneity and co-owner of the Shamrock Cauldron. Their date goes about as well as can be expected of most online dates—awkward and terrible. To make matters worse, once Morty discovers Nina’s last name, he’s far from a fan; it turns out that the Blackmoores have been bullishly trying to buy the Shamrock out from under Morty and his family.

But when Morty begins developing magical powers—something that usually only happens to committed romantic partners once they officially join a founding family—at the same time that Nina’s own magic surges beyond her control, Nina must manage Morty’s rude awakening to the hidden magical world, uncover its cause, and face the intensity of their own burgeoning connection. But what happens when that connection is tied to Nina’s power surge, a power she’s finding nearly as addictive as Morty’s presence in her life?

Supporters of the curse theory point to various ancient texts and mythologies that mention the wrath of the gods and the destruction of a powerful civilization. They argue that these stories could be references to Atlantia, providing evidence for the existence of the curse. Proponents of the curse also claim that the absence of any physical evidence of Atlantia's existence is further proof of its supernatural demise. However, skeptics of the curse theory argue that there is no substantial evidence to support the existence of Atlantia or the curse. They believe that the story of Atlantia is a product of mythology and folklore, created to explain natural disasters and other unexplained phenomena. Skeptics argue that the lack of archaeological evidence is simply due to the fact that Atlantia never existed in the first place. In conclusion, the curse of Atlantia is a fascinating concept that has captivated the minds of many. While some believe in the curse as an explanation for the destruction of Atlantia, others dismiss it as a mere myth. As with many legends and folklore, the truth about Atlantia and its curse may forever remain a mystery..
