Hmm,

There is Roisin Luna, who is the main protagonist, she's a new student at Wynd Academy, she has great potential and intends to unlock it, though she can be quick to lose her temper

The main villian is named Lumina, she attacks with pure crystals of light, which can bend anyone to her will, the will of light.

The story is still in its early days, so while I do have ideas of the characters and their directions, I don't want to give too much away

....I love the cover, Scarlett (...and the Wynd Academy title ...)...and it sounds as though you’ve really enjoyed writing it/..getting back into the groove of your writing...?...that’s lovely to see...so it can be read directly on the inkett site..?...I’ve just had a little look and that seems to be how it is...I’m just finishing a book atm, so I’ll try to start reading it next week and really look forward to it...and well done you and thank you for the gift you’re giving.....

...I started this last night, although I didn’t get to read that much because I was tired...I think I’m up to Chapter 4, if I recall...the characters I’ve met so far are very interesting, Scarlett...and it’s feeling like an enjoyable and smooth read...
Spoiler:

...Roisin and Ashe are the two characters I’ve met...

Thank you! The first few chapters have quite a bit to set up, the characters get more room to develop in the later chapters

...I love how you’re developing the characters and I love the story so far, it’s an excellent read, Scarlett...

Spoiler:

...the end of Transference chapter was particularly gripping and brutal and I liked how sudden it all felt because it really gave the feel for the coldness of Rory’s character...I love the friendships and I love the villains and I love the dark and light storyline....the only thing that I didn’t like so much...?..is that I’ll have to wait for You to write the next chapter...thank you for an engaging read in a fascinating world.....

With the 18th Chapter out, Wynd Academy has come to an end, but I've post the prologue for the next story in the series: The Luna Legacy!




With this book, I plan to take a little more time with the characters, since they're no longer facing a

apocalyptic threat
. I also plan to dive into Roisin and her brother's history a little more this time too. (and no, her brother is not forgotten )

...ending spoilers and The Luna Legacy prologue...


Spoiler:


...okay so that was a perfect ending for the continuation, Scarlett...the battles were quite intense...both of the Rivenlake Skies and between Ariel and Rory...Lumina is very sinister and obviously Rory will be looking for his revenge...so I fear the group won’t all survive these two enemies......I loved it, your writing is excellent, Scarlett...and the story had me enthralled from the beginning and didn’t lose its grip..thank you for a thrilling read and for the introduction to some wonderful dark and light characters......

...I’ve read the prologue for The Luna Legacy...and the cover again is totally gorgeous.....

Thank you! Indeed,
Spoiler:

Rory has fallen completely to his primal rage now, no longer trying to fit into society, all he cares about now is his vengeance.

The Airship battle was really enjoyable to write, as it introduced a whole new group into the story, while being really important to the continuing story


Glad you liked the cover, I tried a few different types of cover, but decided to go with a similar style, I really like it too! I plan to continue the story almost right away, so there will be no real wait

...The Luna Legacy, chapter 2 spoiler...

Spoiler:

...we know that the sight of the sun setting peacefully over Ishtall is not a scene that we’re going to become very familiar with.....the contrast in the lightness in their moods and the brightness of their surroundings being mirrored to that of Rory...?...a perfectly sinister vibe for the start, Scarlett.. but still balancing that lightness with the dark as well...

...wow at that chapter, so much going on to absorb...I love that each Crystal has a defender/protector and I especially loved the idea of Ceres, the protector of Terrana...imagine if atm our very own virus was transmitted through poisons in pollen...?...so that was quite thought provoking...also, Syl, so longing to see his sister and yet so resistant to seeing her as well, that’s so heartbreaking...you captured that loneliness so well..and Andre Spectra, I’m holding my breath to see what that alliance will bring...A Good Defence, a good chapter.....

Chapter 3 spoilers
Spoiler:

Indeed! That's what inspired me when writing Celes' powers, she could be a very deadly weapon to the enemies of the city

My original plan in the first story was for him to basically have Rory's place as a villian, but I felt there was enough people who were bent to Lumina's will already, and it'd be interesting if someone actually resisted her

Haha, maybe! Though with the size of the dragon that flew over Rivenlake, they're more likely to be Wyvern eggs

..chapter 8 spoiler...

Spoiler:

...I loved the chapter title btw, the white rose of her beautiful dress on the night she died...so Amanda ordered the deaths of Roisin’s parents...but she spared Atlas, no attempt was made to take his life and yet they were enemies...and she must have known that in leaving him alive, he would be seeking revenge...it was obviously a mixture of emotions in that chapter because of the brutal deaths of Ruth and Darenth...but i also enjoyed the layer of depth at knowing Roisin’s back story of how she lost her parents, and we felt more, the closeness of her relationship with her uncle...
