Cardinalis Academia Trilogy: Bloodlines

From Book 1: This is not a standalone novel! This is book 1 in a trilogy and must be read in order. What if everything you knew was based on a lie? What if I told you that there are puppeteers behind the scenes that pull the strings of all organized crime, corrupt governments, politics, wars, and greedy powerplays in the world? You wouldn't believe me! No one ever does. Just like you wouldn't even consider that magic exists or that all of those facts in your history books are what they want you to believe. They distract you with their designed entertainment and busy schedules so that you won't see. They like you blind and indoctrinated to believe success is money, power, and pride. They've already corrupted us, and we are supposed to know better. I'm taking a chance here! This is the secret... Their system is all based on Bloodlines, lies, and deceptions. They don't want you to know the truth because if you did, you might look deeper. Yeah! Unbelievable, right? Well, here is something to think about. Columbus might have sailed the ocean blue, but North America wasn't the New World! Shocker, right? Yeah, there was a more sinister motive behind that voyage. To introduce you to this hidden world, you must know of the Cardinalis Academia. I bet you haven't heard of that before! There is always a war of good versus evil... But what happens when the good has been corrupted since infancy and trained within a system that teaches them everything illegal, immoral, and shady? Welcome to Cardinalis Academia! This is where students learn everything from interrogation, surveillance, hacking, embezzlement, forgery, larceny, combat, mastery of every weapon, to wield their magical abilities, and everything in between. If it is illegal, they are supposed to master it within their time at the academy. It's always been like this... or has it?
