The Romance of Atlantis by Taylor Caldwell. She wrote this at the age of 12. Even then she had the ability to reach across time and space to picture how life might have been. There are subjects here that makes one wonder how a twelve year old would know these things. It reads a little like a romance novel which probably helps the story move along. There are episodes that ring true, like the invasion from the North and a Noah type figure warning the people of Atlantis to change their ways or prepare for cataclysm.

From another site: THE ROMANCE OF ATLANTIS brings to life all the dazzling splendor of that lost kingdom. However, Atlantis is threatened by powerful neighboring states. Tension increases when the ruler of an adjacent kingdom bids to marry the empress. If she marries him, Atlantis would be safe from invasion. Yet, such a marriage contradicts the deepest feelings of her heart, the secret wisdom of her lineage, and her sacred trust as queen.
