For most of her life, Nixie's home was a rusted, abandoned ship beached on the shore of a beautiful lagoon. The daughter of Atlas, a cult leader, and his three wives, Nixie lives with thirty other cult members. Forbidden from leaving the boat for fear of encountering a "drylander", she passes time with a few friends and her cats. Life's rough on the outside, she's told. People judge based on physical appearance instead of character. But, inspired by old movies and the occasional books her father gives her, Nixie romanticizes life outside the boat. One night, she dives into the lagoon to save a drowning boy. When they begin to develop feelings for each other and want more than just brief encounters on the beach, Nixie plots her escape from the boat to venture into the city-a bold action that's bound to stir up trouble.

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
