Academy of Secrets: From the Outcast Angels Christian Fantasy & Science Fiction series

Her name is Chrymos and she seeks supernatural powers so that she can make a difference in the world. But can she avoid the grim fate prophesied by the demon Nekhbet?

It’s the year 1610. The world is in grave danger if a long-missing artifact falls into the hands of the Academy of Secrets, a group whose members have gained unnatural powers through alchemy. And Chrymos, a young woman with a mysterious past, may hold the key.

For Chrymos, scrabbling out a wretched living on the streets of Renaissance Naples, the Academy represents a chance to really make a difference in the world. But can she leave behind all the people that she cares about?

And what about the OUTCAST ANGELS, a ragtag group of former angels exiled from Heaven at the time of the Great Rebellion, who are desperately trying to stop the Academy? They face an uphill battle against alchemy-enhanced humans who can become invisible, cast illusions and create storms and tornadoes.

Will the Academy recover the missing artifact? What part will Chrymos play? And will the prophecies of the demon Nekhbet -- that the artifact's recovery will trigger the Lost War -- come true?

Find out in this fast-paced historical fantasy thriller set in Late Renaissance Italy.

ACADEMY OF SECRETS is the first novel in the LOST WAR Chronicles, part of the OUTCAST ANGELS book series by MICHAEL CARNEY.

For those who love Christian fantasy, historical fantasy adventure, epic fantasy, sword & sorcery, tales of great battles and continuing warfare between angels and demons.

Here's what early readers have said about ACADEMY OF SECRETS):

Fast paced enjoyable read! - Kevin Burt

Chrymos is a wonderful character. Well developed, with an intriguing story-line that follows her journey from gutter-snipe to…well I can’t tell you, that would be giving too much away. - Koeur

"Chrymos is an extremely relatable character. She cares deeply for those under her protection, especially the children that she takes care of. She has very valid reasons for her actions and thoughts. Even though this book takes place in the 1600’s, it does not take the path of minimizing women or having illogical reasons for women to think and act a certain way." - Kim

The plot twists and turns but keeps you very engrossed and attached.- T.Vogt, 'Kindle Addict'
