This is the second book from Atticus! ••••••••••••••• If you lost the ability to do what you loved the most, what would you do? Give up? Keep trying? Every time Holly tries to climb on her surfboard, she hopes that her balance will magically return. It doesn't. When she falls, it isn't the waves beating her up after that gives her chills. It's whatever is watching her in the water. Holly grew up listening to the stories about sea monsters and half human devils. A part of her always accepted the possibility of the legends being real. That part of her comes to life when her small seaside town starts to change. It always feels like someone or something is watching her whether she is in the water or on land. Maybe it has to do with that handsome stranger she keeps seeing. Every night she watches him go for a night swim but never resurface. As the clouding mystery surrounding this man thickens, Holly decides to do the only thing her mind and heart is allowing her to do. Solve the mystery of this stranger and confront him. ••••••••••• This can be a stand alone book, but if you want the excitement and to understand some of the mystery, I recommend reading Atticus first.

Even when growing up, Elia didn't fit in with the other girls. They would dress up in dresses. She wore cloaks. They would cook and sew. She would throw knives. They liked boys. She liked bows. Elia was a bit of an outcast to her village, with her striking dark brown hair that was always kept back in a fishtail plait, and her light blue/green eyes that seemed to change colour in the light. She had no parents, and at 16 lives alone, and breathlessly waits each year to watch the dragons during the Week of Xanithar, admiring the way they fly, wild and free. This year is her year of testing, at 16. The first of the four dragon riders to get to the village can claim it. The moment that dragon rider sets foot on the ground of your village, the emblem of that academy is hung from the flag and any new dragon riders in their village are the new students for the academy. Each village has 4 new dragon riders, this is the way it has been for years. Male or female they are claimed and tested to find the four riders a week after. The challenge for the dragon riders in the Week of Xanithar is to claim as many strong blooded villages as possible. And now it's her turn.

While she tries to come to terms with her new identity, an imminent threat lurks in the corners of the serenely composed school. Life is tough at 'Mystic High'!
