In the enchanted lands of Terra, Delphina's once-bright village is falling apart under a dark curse. As hope fades, Dela, a bold young girl with hidden powers, meets Vander, the striking god of War. Their brief but powerful bond sparks hope in her, but Vander soon disappears, leaving Dela filled with longing.

Determined to save both her village and Vander, Dela strikes a deal with Ruse, the tricky god of bargains-who may be the very one behind her village's curse. In return for his help, she must find the fabled Death Pearl, a treasure with strange, dark powers. As she sets off, Dela learns she can control water and influence minds-powers that shouldn't work on gods. Yet, for reasons she can't explain, Ruse falls under her control, something no other god has faced.

Though Ruse helps her, his anger toward her is clear in every word and action. He hates her for reasons she can't understand, even while his charm and illusions pull her in. Confused by her growing feelings for him, Dela starts to question why he is the only god affected by her powers-and why he resents her so deeply.

As Dela travels through the dangerous lands of the gods, she must face the truth about Ruse's hatred, her own powers, and the mysteries of the Death Pearl. She needs to break the curse, find Vander, and figure out her tangled bond with Ruse. But in a world full of lies and trickery, will she save her home-or lose everything she loves?

Pearl Academy I The Emergence by queen_narix
21 parts Ongoing
The night is dark. There's no moon, no stars. We rush through the thicket of the woods. The sound we hear is the pounding of our running feet. We run into low hanging branches, fighting against them until we stumble until a clearing. My partner grabs my arm and leads me down another path. "Wait! Where are the others?" I shake my arm from their grasp. "Where are they?" There was a stillness to the dark woods. The type of stillness that holds danger within its shadows. "They'll be fine!" I get pulled back down the path that I was being led to anyhow. "They know what to do. They won't find us if we stay separated." I ran alongside my hidden pair. The moon is at its peak at night. It shows us the way. "It's not him I am worried about, Sunistral. It's her." I hear a sharp breath behind us. I swear it was! But it was disguised as a searing gust of cold wind. When I looked back, there was nothing. Just an endless pit of darkness. It was then that I knew that it had found us. This dream somehow finds me ever night. And every night I wake up in absolute confusion. I have no memory of my parents or where I came from. The only true constant of my existence is the visits that my nightmares make at night and during the day. I have yet to understand the echos of them. Until I find myself where it all began: at Pearl Academy.

Then, she steals his heart, and he can no longer stand to pay the price of peace. Saskia, the Daughter of Darkness, is determined to take her fate into her own hands: she must overcome her fear of losing herself to the dark secrets of her past... Without losing her heart in the process. Saskia is a soul-stealer: her dark touch kills everything around her. And now, that power is threatening to take over, destroying the fragile self she has created without her memories to guide her. She can't know who to trust, and who means her harm behind false smiles. But when a rakish, red-eyed Angel touches her skin-- and survives-- everything changes, and she must resist the passion he ignites in her. But it turns out, he's not the only one: someone else can touch her too, someone that claims her as his Mate. Will she choose vengeance, with the wicked Angel of Death-- whose touch alters her down to her soul, and whose protective embrace makes her heart race-- or will she give up her hated power to be with her smouldering Fated Mate, who secrets his passion beneath an icy exterior? ~*~*~ Updates every FRIDAY @ 17:00 MDT

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?
