The Daughters of Autumn by leithne

One wise and cunning storyteller once said: the mystery of the world consists in the fact that in every person exists a second person, like a twin. But what would happen if this one, the second, gained the flesh? And what would you do after meeting your twin? .. This is a story about two girls who lived in different worlds, but were inseparable. Who could not touch each other in any way, but whose fate, so different, weaved into one. Alice grows in an affectionate and happy Amber city, where you can always hear children's laughter on the streets. She leads a sleepy, measured life of a princess, wears corsets and ribbons in her hair, tries to be polite and obedient. The world of Kira is torn by a war into shreds, filled with bloodthirsty ghosts and dark magic. In this crazy world, she learns to kill, hide and survive. Once they are destined to meet each other's eyes in a mirror reflection, change places and, of course, to accomplish a common feat that will forever change both the fate of the two worlds and their own.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

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?

The Howl of the Wolf | ✓ by sassyroyal

"You're a wizard,Harry!" Whoops,wrong book. "You're a Light Healer, Aurelia!" Eh....Not as catchy but let's roll with it. One night Princess Aurelia is told about the myth about the wolves that once plagued Arcadia. After listening to this legend, the story constantly stays at the back of her mind. Little does she know that it will lead her to an adventure of a lifetime. And there's one more thing, two men are fighting to for her attention... Based off an old Cherokee story: One evening, an elderly Cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith." The grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed."
