The Credel Inspire Academy C.I.A: The Erased (The Credel Inspire Academy (world of CIA) Book 1)

Introduction: A Whisper from the Other SideFor those who believe the world they know is all there is, this book offers a gentle, perhaps unsettling, invitation. You may think your daily routine, your schools, your families, your very lives, are solid, unshakeable things. You may trust in the familiar hum of ordinary existence. And for the most part, you would be right.But imagine, if you will, a hidden thread woven into the tapestry of that familiar life – a thread that, if pulled, could unravel everything you hold dear. Imagine a place where the comfort of home is not a birthright, but a privilege, carefully managed and, sometimes, brutally reassigned.This story begins not with a grand prophecy or a chosen one, but with the quiet, devastating absence of what was. It delves into the bewildered lives of children who, in the blink of an eye, find themselves adrift, grappling with a loss so profound it is officially unacknowledged. They are asked to be brave, to be compliant, to embrace a future they did not choose, orchestrated by forces they cannot comprehend.So, step beyond the comfortable confines of your reality. Listen closely to the faint, unsettling chime that pierces the joyful noise of an academy. Look with a new kind of sight upon the long, dark corridors and the silent, judging gaze through an invisible pane of glass. For in this tale, the most ordinary moments can suddenly become the most extraordinary, and the search for belonging can lead to truths far more terrifying than any myth.A Letter to the Reader from my dadDear Reader,If you are holding this book, then perhaps, like me, you harbor a quiet curiosity about the spaces between what is seen and what remains hidden. You might sense that even in the most organized worlds, there are whispers of something more, something that defies easy explanation.This story, I hope, will take you on a journey with children like Elara and Miles, who find themselves navigating a bewildering new reality. It is a tale of loss, yes, but also of the remarkable resilience of young hearts when faced with the inexplicable. It asks questions about identity, family, and the power structures that shape our lives – questions that, even in the most fantastical settings, echo the truths of our own world.My deepest hope is that as you turn these pages, you will not only be transported to their world but also reflect on the preciousness of your own connections, the unspoken bonds that truly define us. For every child who seeks a home, every soul yearning for belonging, and for the courage it takes to face the unknown, this story is for you.And to my own wonderful kids, my brightest stars and the truest adventure of my life: May you always find your own unique path, hold onto your hope, and know the unwavering comfort of home and the strength of family. Never stop imagining the wonders of the world, and always have the courage to question the unseen.With my warmest wishes,TW Goodlife Read more
