Brought to a merchant's household as an infant, Stack knew only the life of a slave, and nothing of what the future had in store for him. They tortured and beat him daily. All that was left of him was a ghost, chained to the surface, but one night; something happened, he didn't expect it, a task he couldn't refuse. Only to realize, every tempting offer had a price.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Jewel's Worth tells the story of a slave, whose past and future may lead him to his destiny or his ruin. Along with the help of a witch, he learns truths he knew not of himself, testing his heart and mind. Will Stack prevail in his adventure or be lost forever?

"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

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?

"Ah your majesty, I guess you might be wondering why I am here to torture the hell out of you right? It is all simple, I am here for nothing but to seek revenge. Do you remember that little girl from the neighboring kingdom? The one who you 'murdered'? Yeah her, guess what? She's not dead, neither is her mother, but her father on the other hand, wasn't spared from your sword. With it slicing through his intestines and I watching it on my mother's back. "Do you know how that affects a child? Seeing their precious father being murdered right in front of her eyes. You thought that you buried us six feet underground. Well jokes on you. Those were dummies that my mother created to fool you. We buried my father in a funeral only of us two," she said wiping away a stray tear, "You know, it is always said, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ... and a life for a life." She tightened her grip on the king's throat and he groaned out loud in pain. The bones on his backbone cracked slowly under the immense force. Daryl had seen the whole thing. From what she had said, she had every right to take his father's life away, but, he didn't want her to have any blood in her hands. "Tatyana! Please don't kill my father. I know you have every reason to, but please, don't kill him." He broke the silence that had surrounded the room with his plea. Tatyana threw a glance at him and her heart ached at the sight of him like that. She had come all this way, what was left was just to snap his neck, and all would be over. Will she do it? Find out by reading Hidden Princess! Never leave the journey they will go through and know how the story ends. Remember, its not the happy ending that matters, but the tribulations one may go through in order to obtain it. Cover credits go to @omnikinetic. If you want an awesome cover, go to her cover shop.😊

"They say life is fragile, and we're not all guaranteed tomorrows." My name is Phoenix, and despite my name being a bird that rises from the ashes, I can barely rise from my bed on a good day. I was born to be fearless, but I am in fact, a fearful wimpy girl who can't keep her emotions in check. I'm convinced God is a sadist. My life is okay-ish. I mean if you consider a suicide attempt, a coward father, my overbearing family, my brother's vengeful ex-girlfriend, my amazing best friend and her asshole of brother, okay. Then yes, I live a comfortable life. Or so I thought, until Jace Stone happened.
