My name is Drew Lockewood, I'm the prince of Lockewood Kingdom. My family has been ruling this kingdom for three generations. I'm fourteen years old and my dad keeps urging me to do what is right for the kingdom. To start it off, kill the boy who tried to kill the royal wizard from West Hamcost. A very wealthy colony full of magicals (the name for wizards and witches). This young man I'm to kill is a wizard in training, or so I'm told. When the day to kill him came, I couldn't, for the past couple of months I've grown rather fond of his company. He's very kind and shows me magic. When I helped him escape, he came back for some reason. He gave me an old journal full of entries. I've read them, and now I have to escape. 

But my friend can't help me. If he did, I'd get killed. Though I'm readying myself for the unexpected, the most unexpected thing is that wizard in training, is actually a witch in training. Her name is Maxine and she knows more about me than I know.

If there's one thing I've realized from what I've read in her entires, there's a war on the rise and I'm right in the middle of it.

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?
