If you ever saw something that you were sure you imagined or heard a sound that no one else did - then you know what it's like to attend a show starring the Novaks.
"A magical act so spectacular, it had to be real."
An oh so common statement after the Novaks perform. But what if I told you the magic was real? There were no wires, smoke or mirrors... Would you believe me?
What if I told you the Novaks weren't a friendly family of magicians, but rather the descendants of the most notorious tribe of criminal sorcerers the underworld has ever seen?
Take a trip with the Novaks to the parts of your planet you didn't know existed. Sit in the backseat as they ride through carnage, fight for their freedom, go face to face with their maker and most of all.... 𝓜𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓜𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬.

different (Trilogy: BOOK 1) ✔
I am not your typical 16 year-old girl going around obsessing over boy bands and clothes, I can't obsess over those things on a daily when everyday I'm in fear that the government will take me in.

I am different than anyone off the street. I have now been put in a spot that I have to fix by myself or the whole country could be in danger. But if I do this then I'll be the one taken in by the government. I am Nicole Patterson and I am in danger. START DATE: 12/29/16 COMPLETE DATE: 09/09/17Complete

Book 1: Veil of Shadows
I'm Ivy Hilton, and I screwed up. Big time. One, I'm one of the most powerful wizards in my world, and the next, I'm half-magic, stranded in the mortal realm, and fighting for my life. Why? Because I thought I could outsmart another wizard who's just as stubborn and reckless as I am. Spoiler: I couldn't. Now, the only way to get home is to find some mythical place called the Garden of Stone. Yeah, it sounds made up to me too, but it's my only shot. Oh, and did I mention there are powerful beings-disguised as humans, of course-who want me dead before I can even get close? Fantastic, right? My magic's running low, I've got no allies, and the longer I stay here, the more I realize that maybe this whole mess is way bigger than me. But hey, no pressure. If I fail, it's not just my problem-it's the end of both our worlds. So yeah, no big deal.Complete
Atlantis Academy: The First Element
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.

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?Complete

But the thing that got me all the way creeped out was his facial expression, as if he was expecting something major to happen. "Ahhhhh shit!" Two voices said in my head. "What the hell?" I thought. 'Oh yeah, we didn't introduce ourselves. I'm Grayson, and the other annoying ass voice in your head is Dominic. We're both your guardian demons!' He exclaimed. 'Oh yeah, I forgot about them.' "Hey!" Both of their voices exclaimed. Snickering in my head, I finally ask them what's wrong since they were shocked when the doctor came in. "He's someone you don't want to be near.
