• The tag #theatlassix already has millions of views on TikTok

• A dark academic debut fantasy with an established cult following that reads like The Secret History meets The Umbrella Academy.

• The first in an explosive trilogy

The Alexandrian Society, caretakers of lost knowledge from the greatest civilizations of antiquity, are the foremost secret society of magical academicians in the world. Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation.

Enter the latest round of six: Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona, unwilling halves of an unfathomable whole, who exert uncanny control over every element of physicality. Reina Mori, a naturalist, who can intuit the language of life itself. Parisa Kamali, a telepath who can traverse the depths of the subconscious, navigating worlds inside the human mind. Callum Nova, an empath easily mistaken for a manipulative illusionist, who can influence the intimate workings of a person’s inner self. Finally, there is Tristan Caine, who can see through illusions to a new structure of reality—an ability so rare that neither he nor his peers can fully grasp its implications.

When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society’s archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will.

Most of them.

An abstract & beautiful mix of narrative and magic

I really loved this story. The intricate narrative components added an extra flair to get peice that you don't see in a lot of Dark Acadimia

Best book I’ve read in awhile

Great story, twists and turns, great intro into the series. Leaves you wanting more but offers good conclusion to book.

Slow and Boring

This book was very hard to finish. I won’t be reading the rest of the series.

Great book but…

My experience with the book was slightly ruined by narration. Which is unfortunate because I mostly listen to books but this is one I would recommend you reading the actual book.

nope

The audio was great. different characters to different voices.
the story tho.
The characters were flat. In the beginning, I couldn't figure out who was who.
I am a recruiter sent to give you books ?!?! read all the things!
What was the magic system possibly a give and take thing????
Everyone had different powers... kind of like x-men.
sexy characters all trying to get with each other.
Succubus...............
watch out !the library may or may not need a blood tribute! ( I forgot to tell you when I was recruiting you, my-b)
Did I say blood.. JK I ment someone needs to be eliminated.
The end was very messy.
It was very much a oh by the way the earth is dying. Let's overthrow magic society and be gods!
Mermaid.....?
haha ex-boyfriend is secretly a main character.
