Garber, who authored the Zodiac series under the pen name Romina Russell, has crafted a complex fantasy system in this series opener. Infiltrating a magical school for werewolves and witches, she begins to uncover family secrets and the truth of her existence. But when a loved one is attacked and her mother is taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the young woman goes in search of answers and discovers that the world of the lobizones-Argentinian werewolves-exists.
Because of her unique eyes-her irises are yellow suns and her pupils silver stars-she is confined in their tiny Miami apartment most of the time, wearing mirrored sunglasses on the rare occasions when she goes out. Now Rho-along with Hysan Dax, a young envoy from House Libra, and Mathias, her guide and a member of her Royal Guard-must travel through the Zodiac to warn the other Guardians.An Argentinian-folklore–inspired fantasy.Īs undocumented immigrants from Argentina, Manuela Azul and her mother fear being deported back to their homeland, where the criminal associates who killed Manu’s father could find them. She suspects Ophiuchus-the exiled 13th Guardian of Zodiac legend-has returned to exact his revenge across the Galaxy.
Then, when more Houses fall victim to freak weather catastrophes, Rho starts seeing a pattern in the stars. But, a true Cancrian who loves her home fiercely and will protect her people no matter what, Rho accepts. When a violent blast strikes the moons of Cancer, sending its ocean planet off-kilter and killing thousands of citizens-including its beloved Guardian-Rho is more surprised than anyone when she is named the House’s new leader. While her classmates use measurements to make accurate astrological predictions, Rho can’t solve for ‘x’ to save her life-so instead, she looks up at the night sky and makes up stories. Rhoma Grace is a 16-year-old student from House Cancer with an unusual way of reading the stars.
