Nativus Academy - Light Before the Dark

Join the adventure with the complete first book of Nativus Academy.

Lily thought she was a normal teen girl attending a normal school with a normal family. She thought she would have a normal life. That all changed when her brother and their family friend left to attend an Academy far away from home when they turned sixteen. Against her will, Lily's family forced her to join the same academy three years later. A whole new world was opened to Lily-a world outside the normal world, an unexpected world that changed her life.

The Liminalitae Realm was the NEW world set apart from the Natural Realm Lily was used to. A war thousands of years ago solidified the separation of the Realms. A faction seeking to enslave all those born without talents lost the battle, and the separation was solidified to keep the peace.

Nativus Academy is a hidden pocket in the Liminalitae Realm that protects the students from negative outside forces. In the academy, Lily's life and plans were forever changed. She had no control over, and little help with, the unknown trials she would face.

She fought daily to survive while deciding to stay at the academy or return to her old life.

Mean girls and aggressive, self-important teen boys with superiority complexes challenged Lily's determination and self-esteem. Discovering new alliances was the only way Lily could have any joy during the academy year.

Lily struggles with heartbreaking emotions, from being at the top of her class to rock bottom, lost love, new hope, and a struggle to understand who she will become.

Lily had no idea that forces were already shaping her destiny, guiding her life toward a purpose and ensuring her death would halt the changes she was meant to set in motion. Thrust into a world she never wanted, she soon realized it was a world that desperately needed her.
