      Šesť mágov. Dve súperiace strany. Jeden výskumník. A muž, ktorý dokáže vstupovať do snov. Všetci sa musia rozhodnúť: chcú zachovať svet alebo ho zničiť? V tomto strhujúcom pokračovaní Atlasovej šestky Alexandrijské spoločenstvo odhalí svoju skutočnú tvár tajnej spoločnosti s nepredstaviteľnou mocou na čele s mužom, ktorý naplno rozbieha svoje plány, ako zmeniť náš doterajší svet. Cena za poznanie je však vysoká, a kto chce získať moc, musí si vybrať, na ktorú stranu sa pridá: ktoré spojenectvá vydržia a ktoré nepriateľstvá sa ešte väčšmi prehĺbia? Atlasov paradox je dlho očakávaným pokračovaním Atlasovej šestky od Olivie Blakovej. Tento temný príbeh z akademického prostredia je bestsellerom New York Times a v jeho druhej časti zaručene nájdete ešte viac túžby, úskokov, zrady a chaosu.

Olivie Blaková je autorka a milovníčka príbehov, z ktorých mnohé sa týkajú fantastiky, paranormálnych javov alebo nadprirodzena, no nie všetky. Častejšie sa jej diela točia okolo toho, čo znamená byť človekom (alebo nie), a okolo nekonečne zaujímavej zložitosti života a lásky. Olivie bola publikovaná ako autorka beletrie v časopise Witch Way, ale aj ako autorka grafickej série Alpha, antológií Fairytales of the Macabre, Midsummer Night Dreams a The Lovers Grim a románov Masters of Death, Lovely Tangled Vices, One For My Enemy, La Petite Mort, The Atlas Six (Atlasova šestka) a Alone With You in the Ether.

Recenzie „Atlasova šestka predstavila šesť najzákernejších, najtalentovanejších a najnedokonalejších postáv, aké sa kedy ocitli v magickej knižnici, a postavila ich proti sebe v sérii ohromujúcich zrád a zvratov. Je to delikátny súboj dôvtipu, vôle a vášne, ako aj mágie... je to napoly záhada, napoly hádanka a úplné potešenie.“ autorka bestsellerov New York Times Holly Blacková
