Payton Carpenter always believed in magic. Whether it be in books or real life, she knew magic was real. What she didn't know was that it was most definitely real in a small city in Australia.

When Payton was asked to speak to the River City chapter of The Society of Magical Books, she wasted no time agreeing to it. The summer break before her junior was going to be filled with books, reading them and discussing them with her best friend, Lia, and people just like her. What she didn't know was that her summer vacation was going to get cursed.

While in River City, Payton and Lia decided to tour around the city, taking in the glorious landscape all around them. They took a trip through the local woods when everything went wrong. Payton tripped over a random bell, one that could go in a clock tower at a church. After that, Payton's life turned upside down. 

Everywhere she went, death appeared. 

Everywhere she went, a boy named Darra Blackwell appeared. 

He claimed to be an elf and was totally serious about it. Then, he showed her the library where he was taught his magic, and Payton instantly fell in love. She knew magic was real, and this boy proved it to her. The only problem was that at every corner she took, death greeted her like an old friend. 

Darra and Payton were the only ones who knew about the curse of the bell. It was up to them to break the curse and the barrier between humans and elves.

You love how loving me makes you feel." "And how does loving you make me feel?" "Like your heart isn't black." "Fair enough." They kissed urgently, Ivy removed her pants while he ripped her shirt from her body....

She didn't know anything about her real family or who she was. Now, twenty-five years later, Imogene lives in a small apartment and works at a local coffee shop.

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.

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?
