The 5th Academy: There is the simple story about magic, friendship, love, adventures of mortals and immortals. One hidden magic word, five powerful mystic families or clans, one magic Academy of the five nature elements, three strong heroes and lots of orcs, elves, centaurs... and yes! Demons, jinnees and sorcerers! There are lots of stories about love on the Earth, but each time there is something new to be added. I for one am not going to add another spiraling plot line. Now, let’s take an immortal story like Romeo and Juliette, change their names and put the main characters in the present time. Let’s make their two families, who hate each other, not only powerful and rich, but also immortal and magic. Then send our young lovers to an Academy, but not a common, usual University for mortal students, it should be something dangerous, magical and complicated. Something between death and life. And there, finally, let’s test their love with jealousy, danger, distance, fire, and water. Maybe -why not- death… Let’s watch, how their feelings for one another grow stronger and become insatiable… The book's recipe: 35% MAGIC SCHOOL 30% TEENAGE LOVE 25% CUNNING VILLAIN 10% PLOTS and DANGER The author of this little story is a BIG FAN of "Hunger Games" by Susan Collins, "The Ender's game" by Orson Scott Card, “Divergent” by Veronica Roth and, of course, “Harry Potter” by J. K. Rowling. But the books of Kira Tigris are nothing like them! fantasy, magic, future, fiction, dystopia, yang adults, adventures, action #teen-love #sprite #teen-fic #young #greekgods #teen-fiction #teen #typical #teenfiction
