Book 1 of the Tales of Magick

Princess Gwendolyn wins the favours of the magisterial council and earns her position at the near-top of their ranks as a level 1 Mage; a title she has fought and clawed for years to claim as her own. At 27 she is the youngest ever to claim a seat on the council -- without any help or influence from her higher position as the Princess of the Umber Courts. Her first task as a Minister of the Council is simple: Attend a Magic high school to fish out the source of demonic corruption turning students into slaves for the army of the Dark Magus. She attends school as Gwen, a rich socialite-type ready to reclaim the reins of popularity once again;  but the world has changed drastically since she was in high school, and she must navigate this new territory carefully -- trying her best to avoid anyone blowing her cover, and finding out her identity as the crowned princess.

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?

For all the goody two shoe girls who romanced Minthara Baenre, This is for you ;) In a world where the oppressive Fidelis Order governs all aspects of life through a rigid control of ancient magic, Ayenna, a young disciple cast out for her crimes against the sect, stumbles into a dangerous conspiracy. While on a journey to redeem herself, she inadvertently binds herself to a mysterious woman named Nilvi, a former member of the rebellion. Bound by a magical link that intertwines their fates, Ayenna and Nilvi must navigate a web of secrets, betrayals, and growing tensions within the rebel group they find themselves allied with. Along the way, they uncover ancient ruins and mythical markings that may hold the key to dismantling the Fidelis Order's power. As Ayenna grapples with her burgeoning connection to forbidden magic and the painful truths about her own identity, she is forced to confront not only the Sect but also the deepening personal conflicts within the group. Nilvi's dark past, haunted by betrayal and regret, slowly unravels, threatening to destroy any hope of trust between them. Caught between the fight for freedom and the mysterious forces guiding her, Ayenna must decide where her loyalties lie-and whether she can trust Nilvi with her heart, or if Nilvi's secrets will lead them all to ruin.
