Back Cover: "The Lost Continent" by Cutcliffe Hyne. Philadelphia: Oswald Train, 1974. Jacket Art by William Dixon

From the dust jacket:

 

When two Englishmen on vacation to the Canary Islands unearthed a bundle of age-old sheets, they were surprised to learn that they were the autobiography of one Deucalian, the warrior-priest of Atlantis. Deucalian was the governor of the Province of Yucatan, and on his recall to Atlantis learned that the throne had been seized by the beautiful but tyrannical and unscrupulous Phorenice. A revolt had flared up and the capital city was besieged by the rebels. Even before his arrival at Altantis his fleet was attacked to prevent his landing. Phorenice had chosen him to be her consort, but he met and fell in love with Nais, daughter of the chief priest, Zaemon. And this sets in motion a chain of events that rocks the nation and eventually results in the destruction of the Continent of Atlantis through the occult magic of Zaemon.
