Three high school students are called to the hospital bedside of a classmate badly injured in a car accident. The classmate, Lavinia Drak, insists her head injury has allowed her to remember the truth: “Your parents aren’t real,” she tells them. “The other students aren’t real. None of this is real. All of this is just a bad copy of Demeter. Earth? It’s just a prison made to punish us.”

More than that, Lavinia tells the three of them that in this supposedly better world of Demeter—a place of fantastic magic and advanced science—each of them has special abilities: Eric, a shy artist at school, was a sorcerer who fed on death, using the energy taken from others to fuel spells. Robbie, a gay theater student here, was a famous inventor, adventurer, and womanizer on Demeter. Bernadette, the school's top athlete, was a biologically engineered living weapon. 

Eric, Robbie, and Bernadette all think Lavinia is crazy. That is, until they too begin to see visions of another, more fantastic world in their dreams. And their dreams, in turn, start to awaken powers and talents in them.

Struggling to understand and control their newfound capabilities, Eric, Robbie, Bernadette and Lavinia also find themselves confronting a darker question: if Earth and everyone on it isn’t real, does it matter if they hurt those that get in their way?

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?

Emma Feara was a completely normal girl, living at home with her dad, seventeen years old, a whole future ahead of her. Then she falls down a set of stairs. She finds herself in an institute with hundreds of kids that are just like her. Unordinary. Unusual, not normal, out of place in society. Everyone in the institute has something about them that makes them these things. They all have a Flair. One can read her mind, another can in one second be standing right in front of you and the next be on the other side of the country. It makes them special. Emma finds herself caught up in the world for a second before she realizes that coming to it might have been a mistake. She gets caught between life and death, yes or no, and the danger that this strange new world's war has to offer. The biggest life altering choices, for her and the rest of the world, are on her shoulders. Will she hide away and leave it to the others, or seek out the answer and the conclusion to this war?
