ZODIAC
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 Cancrian 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.
