'Rest easy, Rae. You are safe. No harm will come to you tonight. I swear it.'

Rae MacCallahan hasn't fully gotten over the death of her mother, or the mystery of why she was the sole survivor from the crash of United Flight 427. Try as she might, she couldn't shake the feeling that there was something else at play that day, but that was crazy... wasn't it?

Her entire worldview is shattered when she finds a mysterious necklace on a beach near her home in Aberdeen and her enigmatic coworker recognizes it as the artifact he has been searching for: the map to find Atlantis. His cagey attempt to convince her to give it up only causes her curiosity to take the reins. Could he help her solve her mystery? 

The two make a deal that neither of them can back out of. She swears to give him the relic. He swears to teach her about magic and to bring her into the crew that seeks the Lost City. 

They aren't the only ones who are hunting for the legendary metropolis. Some want to find it for themselves. Some seek to keep it locked away forever. Rae will be forced to learn quickly, or else she'll lose the chance to discover the secrets of her own past, along with her life.

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?
