Hi, my name is Roxanne, but you can call me Roxie, I'm 14 years old and I have a gift. I'm special, different, I don't mean it like what people tell you to make you feel better,
I meant it, I'm not an ordinary 14 year old girl..............I am one in a trillion, literally
Being gifted doesn't always mean your gift is a gift, in my case my gift is a curse
There are some other gifted people, but my gift is really rare......I'm scared of it
I'm terrified of the dark, cause there is where they live:
Monsters, shadows, ghosts, and dead people
I can't sleep, because I have visions, terrible visions, visions of death
My granny helps me with this 'problems'.....you wanna know the scary part on that?
my granny is dead
My brother knows about this, he's my Protector, I'm lucky to have him without him they would've probably have killed me already
"They" are the Slayers, and they want the only person that can defeat them dead

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?
