My name is Alice White. I'm a senior in highschool. I am, or was, if you look at my situation closely, a typical teenage girl. I shopped, hung out with friends, partied and even swooned and sighed over cute boys.
Typical, that is, until my mother died and I began to see them.
The fae, light and dark, kind and crude, roam the earth around us in a not so simple conflict. They're supposed to be invisible to the human eye, supposed to look and talk like us.
But, I can see passed their illusions, I can see the horrible or breathtakingly beautiful creature underneath and unravel their secrets.
There are few of us left, few who can see the fae in their true form.
The dark, they're hunting me. Sending another like me to either kill me, or kidnap me. I don't stick around long enough to find out.
He's dark, entrapped by the power of immortal life, and ruthless. He'll hunt you down and there's nowhere you can run, nowhere you can hide.
He'll never give up, until he takes your life.
My name is Alice White, I will survive, and I will avenge my mothers death.
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?
