The Witch's circus is in town, and you've got the best seat in the house!  We only come around once in your pitiful, mortal lifespan. 
    
    We've got feral beasts and feral children, knife-eaters and fire-feasters. We have fortunes guaranteed to come true! We have magic mirrors and a Carousel that's been spinning longer than you've been alive! 
    Gorge yourself with our tragically addictive popcorn, chow down on our candy apples, cotton candy, and feast on funnel cake! 
   
 Just make sure you follow our rules while you're here:
    Keep your ticket on your person at all times... if you value your freedom.
    Do not feed the beasts (or the performers, for that matter)... if you value your hide.
    Do not overstay your welcome... if you value your life.

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?

Formerly Titled: The Fairest - First 3 Chapters Are you Fair or Strange? Be careful which one you choose. A prophecy was given to the Realm of Valeera, but only one kingdom took heed of it and set forth a law that would divide the people into two groups. The Fair and the Strange. One group possesses a promise of peace while the other is doomed for eternity. Well, that's what the people believed... Born with purple eyes, 18-year-old Mageia Unknown knows one thing, if she's ever caught, she could be executed because of it. Being the leader of a group of Strange youths living on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Ardania, she makes it her duty to take care of her family, no matter the cost. But when an act of heroism goes wrong, she discovers her fate is entwined with a prophecy that may force her to sacrifice everything she loves and believes in. 18-year-old Grisonce Arlon is not the most respected prince in the kingdom. Despite his defect that taints the royal bloodline, he is urged to find a wife to be accepted by other Fairs. But his interests lie in something far greater. When his obsession with the Fairest Prophecy intervenes with the case of the one called the Purple Thief, it reveals a possible dark threat lurking within the palace involving a most hated rival. Will he be willing to sacrifice everything for the purple-eyed beauty even if it may be his life? Received an Honorable Mention Award from The BookFest Fall 2023 Contest.
