For as long as anyone could remember, there have only been twelve Zodiac signs.

Talah dreams of another world. One where she doesn't have to hide who she truly is. All she wants is to take the Trials and prove she's a true Zodiac. That she belongs. Training with her best friend, Mazin, Talah prepares to dive into the world of the Zodiacs.

Gifted by the stars with two abilities each, the twelve signs have maintained balance in their world for centuries.

When her chance finally arrives to compete in the Trials and join her people for good, she is all too eager to prove her place. But beneath the lavish parties and power lies a dark secret their history had forgotten. And with it, a boy she thought she'd never see again.

Now, a thirteenth sign threatens to upend the balance...

Firas has spent his whole life training for the Trials to take his true place as the Soulinus heir. But when his own family starts hunting him down, he has to learn to survive on his own. Now the leader of a people facing genocide, he must outwit a centuries-old society with powers that rival his own.

Thrust into a forgotten civil war neither understand, Talah and Firas must find the balance between tradition and freedom.
