**EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE UNTIL THE BOOK IS COMPLETE**
This story WILL contain the following;
Violence, mentions of blood/gore, (severe) cursing, murder/death, societal issues, hateful phobias (transphobia, xenophobia, etc.), mentions self-harm (and everything related to it), eating disorders, gender dysphoria (trans things in general), eating/binging disorders, anxiety (disorders and all things related), panic/anxiety disorders, icky/yucky textures, and anything relating to the above. If this doesn't sound your cup of tea, it probably isn't, so please don't read for both of our sakes!
In a world where fantasy is every day life, and days of adventuring is in the past, a young adventurer-to-be is detached from the societal norms in their modern life. Harper, accompanied by their bestfriend, Vera, go on a daring adventurer in an attempt to revive the life of their ancestors. Desperate to prove themselves, they embark on the journey of a lifetime filled with near-death experiences, but made worth the while by friends met along the way. Assumed to be just for fun, the two are dragged into something much deeper and darker than expected.
(NONE OF THIS IS SET IN STONE)
I will be honest, I have no clue what I'm going to do with this story. I will attempt to give a new chapter/part at LEAST ONCE A WEEK. It will likely be on weekends (Saturday/Sunday), though potentially daily depending on how motivated I am.
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."

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?
