You see, the island of Roanoke had been a site for magic since before time was even born. Faeries used it as a rest stop, and selkies lounged on its shores. Every 500 years was a gathering of a representative of each family of fae. Witches, warlocks, fairy doctors and more were invited to the party. The revelry would last for a month. It was simply due to bad timing that the colonizers had been there. You see, the fae see humans as below them. Which is entirely fair, considering that humans have lower intelligence levels on average and no magic. The men and women of Roanoke were taken to become slaves and children who had not gone through puberty were adopted into fae families where they took part in blood ceremonies and became fae themselves. The fae carved one, cryptic word into a nearby tree. Croatoan. And in this way, they have managed to confuse the humans for hundreds of years, creating the legacy of one of the greatest mysteries of the North Americas.

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?
