Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Only a legendary sword, thrust upon her in the heart of a decaying land, has any hope of restoring the realm to its full glory. With the help of her best friend, a rouge thief, and a powerful butterfly trapped in crystal, she must use the sword to stand against the forces of darkness overtaking the realm and its people. But with magic in short supply, and the realm crumbling beneath her, can she unlock the secret to its survival in time? *cover image used from Unsplash.com*

After hitting her head and falling unconscious at a park during her school trip, Snow woke up twenty years into the future... A future that is, where humans are no longer the dominant race! She learns that humans waged a war against monsters and lost to them all! And it doesn't help that these creatures are stronger, more terrifying, and all seem to harbor intense hatred towards all humans. Lost, homeless and scared, she stumbles onto the path of a prestigious yet capricious male student. He drags her into his high school of high level, human enslaving demons! Now, she has to face the incredible challenge of keeping her humanity a secret while attending an exclusive school meant for non- humans, or risk punishment worse then death.

Ashton is haunted by his grief and struggles focusing on anything else. To make matters worse, he keeps having dreams about the glowing winged figure repeating the same phrase: protect the savior. Beatrice has grown confident in her ability to control her fire magic. With Julian's ongoing training, she has also become better at wielding a sword.

So, when Ashton nearly meets his fate at the hands of Infernum cantivat, Beatrice awakens another power whilst rescuing him. They realize their connection may be deeper than they originally believed. There also may just be something far more sinister about Infernum cantivat than them merely being a group of criminals.

With the enemy growing stronger and Shelby's self-doubt present within her, will she be able to rise to the challenge, or will her journey consume her like a tidal wave, pushing her down the path of defeat?

The world of Alaris had always been one ruled by magic and the will of the gods. Most had some degree of renown or magical power, even attaining the status of so called Legends. A woman of no real renown, Alistaria had attempted to claw her way to some degree of notoriety with what little magical power she had. Achieving the rank of captain of a royal guard, she had expected to live a semi average existence. Sent on an expedition to find the source of an emerging insurrection, Alistaria finds herself in a nearly alien outpost in the middle of the desert. After a chance encounter in a place she shouldn't have been, she is infected by a monstrous creature and is forced to watch as she slowly succumbs to changes she didnt intend. Forced into the grip of a vengeful god and granted the power to corrupt the world around her, Alistaria must navigate her own maturation and avoid certain death at the hands of those she once called companions.

Alie knew becoming the realm's savior wouldn't be easy. But ever since the emperor's death, her job has become a lot harder. Between scrounging for food, dodging Commander Sole's elite Phantom soldiers, and chasing rumors in search of the stolen magic, she feels it might even be impossible. Desperate, she risks breaking her own rules in the name of survival. With the realm crumbling around her and no one she can trust, Alie must find the secret to saving the realm - and fast - or everything she has ever loved will be torn from her.
