Orphans. Changelings. Princesses. Queens.

We are all and nothing now, our fate weighed on the scales of the stars and counterbalanced by the forces that oppose us.

The shadow of the false king spreads as thick as oil across the kingdom we were born to rule, and none remain untouched by its darkness.

Our crowns lay within reach if only we can claim them. All souls are at risk now and when the final battle dawns, a new regime will rise.

The time for the true reckoning is upon us and we have proven ourselves as savage as our father, as brutal as our mother, and as wild as the Elements which roar through our veins. We can only hope it is enough.

When the last sword strikes the final death in this game of fate and fortune, only one side will be victorious. The Starfall Legion charges at first light. And our destiny rides upon our shoulders as we rush into the end.

All hail the True Queens. May our rule last longer than this night.

Zodiac Academy

In Zodiac Academy, the universe isn’t just shaped by the stars—it’s ruled by them. Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti’s electrifying series takes readers on a wild ride through a world where celestial powers dictate every aspect of life, and the line between friend and foe is as fluid as the stars themselves.

The story begins when twin sisters, Tori and Darcy Vega, are thrust into a world they never knew existed—one where magic isn’t just a myth, but a dangerous, intoxicating force. As they step into Zodiac Academy, a school for the elite, they’re forced to confront their new reality: they are heirs to a legacy of power that the very cosmos demand be theirs to wield. But the road to mastering their newfound powers is paved with rivalry, betrayal, and a dangerous desire to control what they can barely understand.

As Tori and Darcy struggle to fit into a school that feels more like a battlefield than a sanctuary, they encounter the Royal Four—four powerful boys who embody the astrological signs of the zodiac itself. These aren’t just your average heartthrobs. Each one carries a deep, personal connection to the stars, and as the sisters get closer to unraveling the dark mysteries of their birthright, they begin to realize that their fates are intertwined with these enigmatic boys in ways they could never have predicted.

In Zodiac Academy, no one is simply “good” or “bad.” Every character—whether they’re friend, foe, or something in between—has their own complicated motivations. Peckham and Valenti's world-building weaves celestial mythology, ancient prophecies, and a high-stakes magical rivalry into a thrilling, fast-paced narrative where trust is a luxury and survival is an art. Themes of power, self-discovery, and loyalty pulse through every page, with an undercurrent of tension that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

This is a world where magic isn’t just learned—it’s fought for. And as the Vega sisters step into their destiny, they must navigate alliances, face their darkest fears, and uncover secrets about their own bloodline that could alter the very course of the universe itself. The deeper they dive into the mysteries of the academy, the more they realize that their true power might just lie in the chaos they've yet to unleash.

With its addictive blend of magic, romance, and dark intrigue, Zodiac Academy is a must for fans of fantasy that’s as complex and unpredictable as the stars. Each book in the series builds on the last, delivering twist after twist, turning every moment into a fight for survival. Whether it’s battling celestial forces or navigating their intense, often volatile relationships with the Royal Four, Tori and Darcy’s journey will leave readers hungry for more.
