Every night, humans all over Earth look up at the giant balls of gas in the sky...but are they really just balls of gas? Maybe that's only what the Fates want you to see. Even celestials have their secrets. Even celestials have their wars. Even celestials have their desires. Celestials have their beginning and their end, and this is just the beginning.
Zodiac was once a peaceful world, where all the clans lived together in harmony. There was a balance between the clans and everyone appreciated each individual for who they were no matter what flaws were hidden beneath each constellation. The twelve clans are what humans refer to as the Zodiac Signs. The clans also had control over the universal elements of air, earth, water, and fire. Gemini, Libra Aquarius control air, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn control earth, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces control water, and Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius control fire. All elements should have a balance just like the people of Zodiac. And there was, for a time. Until the Leo clan decided that since the Sun is at the center of our solar system that they were too. Reese, a 20-year-old celestial from a small province in the Aries clan, is angry. Angry at the Leo clan for disrupting the balance in Zodiac. Angry at the Royal family for taking everything that was good and pure in her life away. Angry enough to do whatever she can to save the people she loves and win the ultimate prize: taking down the monarchy. For her mission to succeed, Reese will have to search the most unlikely of places to form an unstoppable gang of talented outcasts.
