The year is 1692 and the town of Salem is gripped in hysteria. Witch trials and executions are happening regularly and residents are growing more paranoid as the days pass. 
  
  Ebeline Vidan lives on the outskirts of town, the outcast nobody pays any attention to. The orphan left to look after herself. With rationality slowly leaving the town, Ebeline is aware that it won't be long before the villagers turn their sights to her. After all, not only does she live alone on the outskirts, but her appearance isn't exactly conventional. 
  
  But Ebeline has a secret. A power that she can wield, despite having no knowledge of witchcraft. 
  
  Then she gets caught. 
  
  But it is in getting caught that Ebeline will discover the secrets of her past, make her first friends, travel to places beyond her wildest imagination and... 
  
  Become the leader of a rebellion that's been waiting for her.

Sixty orbits have passed since the faeries lost the Great War against the mortals and were pushed to the brink of extinction. Those that remain inhabit the Holókaustos, trapped by a curse, rotting away between this world and the next. That is, until a bastard halfling with something to prove concocts an escape plan involving a girl born of mortal blood and magic. ☆☆☆ A girl with a peculiar pedigree is dumped on a stranger's doorstep during the worst snowstorm the hamlet Myst has ever known. Selectively mute, she refuses to tell her hosts from whence she came and her name. For lack of knowing what else to do, the crotchety old woman and her grandson Mat grant her sanctuary and take to calling her Snow. But her very existence disrupts their daily lives. The mystery comes to a head when a dead man is discovered in the front yard after the first serious thaw. Strangers turned ragtag confidants, they dispose of the body. Orbits pass without incident, slackening their resolve to keep the girl their best-kept secret. When Mat introduces her to an old friend with his own dangerous secret, he threatens all they hold dear. The world's suddenly at their door, and it quickly becomes clear that Snow's meant for greater things. A story of loss, friendship and all the grit in between. #15 in fantasy | December 2018 #10 in adventure | December 2018 #4 in world building | December 2018 #1 in speculative fiction | December 2018 #2 in quest | September 2018 #3 in fairies | September 2018 #7 in scifi-fantasy | September 2018 #123 in new adult | August 2018 #183 in fairytale | August 2018 #2 in human experimentation | July 2018 First installment of an intended series.

The Awakening by NarrativeNest8708
8 parts Ongoing Mature
At 37, Cambry Keller has spent her entire life feeling as if something was just a bit... off. Her job, her relationships, her home-all perfectly ordinary, yet there was always a nagging feeling deep within her that she was meant for something more, something extraordinary. But nothing ever changed, and soon, she resigned herself to the quiet monotony of her life. Until the fall after she turned 37. In the span of a single autumn, everything Cambry thought she knew about herself-and the world around her-was turned upside down. Strange dreams begin to haunt her nights, filled with forgotten symbols and places she's never been, yet feels intimately familiar. Her body begins to change in subtle, unexplainable ways: heightened senses, a newfound connection to the natural world, and the inexplicable ability to influence the elements. As the leaves fall, Cambry uncovers long-buried family secrets that reveal her true heritage: a powerful bloodline with ties to an ancient mystical order. The dormant magic within her awakens, and Emily finds herself thrust into a world of enchantment, danger, and ancient forces vying for control. Her journey of self-discovery leads her to allies and enemies, both human and supernatural, as she grapples with the powerful abilities she never knew she possessed. But as her powers grow, so too does a looming threat. Cambry must learn to control the magic that now courses through her veins, or risk not only her life, but the fate of the world. In this transformative season, Cambry will come to understand that she is not just different-she is extraordinary. And the time for her true purpose has finally come.

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?
