As a baby, she had been found on the shores of a large “slave lake” in South America. She sets out to find answers about her past with Graf Felsmark, a German millionaire adventurer who Atalanta eventually marries. In the course of her adventures, she finds a lost Mayan city in the jungles of Mexico, and battles the evil dwarfish rulers of Lemuria and their ogre-like servants. Eventually, she returns to the slave lake where she was found and frees the slaves.
