Who says things are as they seem?
Everyone...
I've seen things, and heard them... but instead of saying something... and trying, I just let them be, and continue their course of action... It isn't always easy to know what's wrong, but, if we don't see through a person's perspective, if we don't try to understand, to help, even to comprehend... We won't understand nothing but ourselves...
I wasn't one to speak up, or... defend my ideas or even myself... instead, I just sealed myself in my perfect fantasy world, and always concealed myself... I didn't do anything related to... well... things that required me to be with... others...
Concealing myself, that's how I wanted it all to stay, always show a smile to people, and keep a secret my real feelings, I didn't think much of the consequences afterwards. Well... at least I had someone there... someone to help me through half of it, even if I never wanted to talk, he would insist me to talk... A real friend.
What is a secret,
Stays a secret, not matter what,
or Who...
I know due to my own experience...
Lies... fake smiles... hurt feelings... everything had to stay, concealed by the shadows...
If not... well... suffering starts...
But because they didn't stay concealed...
It caused me suffering... A lot of it...

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?
