Off the coast of North Carolina is a small island called Nereid Island. On this island is not much more than a tourist based town and the small residential population of 1,136 people. But this island has a very big secret. One that only few believe in and even fewer know about. Nereid Island is home of the oldest species of mermaids. 

But if the world knew, or even the town- they would be hunted. Treated as science experiments. While people search for the unknown they don't always like the change it might bring when they find it. 

But what happens when the unthinkable happens? Even after being so careful after all these years. When someone gets video proof of a real life mermaid?

The year is 2136. Kids with special abilities have started to be born. But only a handful. All kids that start to show signs must be handed over to the government or legal action will be taken to seize the child. Scientists want to find the root of this new gene popping up in the newest generation. Why it's only a select few. What makes them so special. But some kids slip through the cracks. Then all they can do is run. So run they do. 

Follow along the story of Kore Okeanid- a mermaid separated from her family during a scramble to hide their secret and a group of four unordinary teenagers on the run.

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?
