The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake (Paperback)

The Alexandrian Society is the most powerful secret organisation in the world, guarding lost knowledge from ancient civilisations. Membership brings wealth, status, and influence beyond imagination, but entry is not offered lightly. Every ten years, only six of the most talented magicians are chosen to compete for a place, and only five will survive the process.

This selection brings together six exceptional practitioners, each with abilities that shape reality in different ways. Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona are inseparable rivals who can manipulate physical matter. Parisa Kamali can read and navigate the deepest layers of the human mind. Reina Mori senses and understands the flow of life itself. Callum Nova influences desire and emotion through empathy. Tristan Caine holds a mysterious power that even he cannot fully explain.

Recruited by the elusive Atlas Blakely, the candidates are brought to the Society’s London headquarters. There, they are given access to ancient archives and assigned studies that challenge the limits of magic and understanding. Over the course of one year, they are judged not only on skill but on ambition, loyalty, and survival. The rules are simple. Five will be initiated. One will be eliminated.

As alliances form and tensions rise, trust becomes unstable. Knowledge becomes power, and power becomes a threat. Each candidate must decide how far they are willing to go to secure their place within the Society, even when the cost grows increasingly uncertain.

This edition includes a striking illustrated presentation, bringing the world of the Alexandrian Society to life on the page.

Perfect for readers who enjoy dark academic fantasy, secret societies, morally complex characters, magical competition, and high-stakes survival narratives.
