Started - 7th August 2015 On their 16th birthday, each male and female was sent to a clinic; a clinic that gave them a power of their choice, should they choose to obtain it. The world became a place filled with man-made super humans, who became know as 'The Enhanced'. Or, a recipe for disaster. Wars broke out between the enhanced, desperately trying to prove their group, and their powers were better. Marauders were pillaging, criminals attacked or killed anyone in their way. Innocents who accidentally got in the way stood no chance. The enhanced attacked the very people that gave them their powers to begin with. Chaos and disaster ruled. After 50 years of slaughter, the war ended. The criminal enhanced were either captured, or killed, the innocent victims were finally buried, the clinics shut down. All use of enhancements were banned, and the governments hoped that the enhanced would die off with the rest of their generation. Why wouldn't it, the enhancement was specific to the individual, it couldn't be passed on, surely?? What they didn't know, was that the powers were, in fact, genetic. What they didn't know, was that there was a 0.05% of a random enhancement being passed on. This was very rare, and barely any of the new enhanced were born. As a precaution, the government sent out a warning, that any enhanced had to turn themselves in. If they didn't, they would be hunted. And killed. The few enhanced that refused to hand themselves in, forced to run, formed a secret group, a band of super humans. Led by their talented leader, Apryl, they constantly escaped and battled the authority, earning their kind a new name.

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?
