At the dawn of time, there were 13 Houses in the Zodiac Galaxy. Now only 12 remain….
Rhoma Grace is a 16-year-old student from House Cancer with an unusual way of reading the stars. 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.
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. But, a true Cancerian who loves her home fiercely and will protect her people no matter what, Rho accepts.
Then, when more Houses fall victim to freak weather catastrophes, Rho starts seeing a pattern in the stars. She suspects Ophiuchus—the exiled 13th Guardian of Zodiac legend—has returned to exact his revenge across the Galaxy. 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.
But who will believe anything this young novice says? Whom can Rho trust in a universe defined by differences? And how can she convince twelve worlds to unite as one Zodiac?
Embark on a dazzling journey with ZODIAC, the first novel in an epic sci-fi-meets-high-fantasy series set in a galaxy inspired by the astrological signs.

Wow love the nails. I have a hard enough time keeping just regular polish on. Wonder how long it took to do those?
The board you created is beyond gorgeous, I love the dress and the nails! And I want to know, just like Tammy above, how in the world would you paint those nails lol! So excited that the final book is coming out, yay!!
I have had Zodiac sitting on my shelf for a long time, I’ve got to get to it!
I love your post, especially the inspired look! This tour is really getting me interested in this series (I’ve seen it around but never realized it was a space theme or setting). Thanks for hosting!
I love the makeup and nails and that dress is so gorgeous! I love galaxy print and so does my daughter (she has a backpack in purple galaxy print). I’m looking forward to reading this series.
