The Atlas Six is a fantasy novel by author Olivie Blake. It is the first of a trilogy and follows six powerful young magic users who have the chance to join the secretive Alexandrian Society. The novel was originally self-published via Kindle in early 2020 before it was acquired by Tor Books after a seven-way auction.[1][2] It was revised and published by Tor in 2021.[1] The second book of the trilogy, The Atlas Paradox, was released in October 2022.[3]
The Atlas Six was noted for being a viral "BookTok sensation" with a larger "cult following" gained on after Blake's self-publication.[1][4]

In December 2021, Deadline reported that Amazon Studios has outbid other studios for the small-screen rights to The Atlas Six. Amazon was said to be developing a streaming television series adaptation with Brightstar.[6] Blake will executive produce the series.[7]
