Thousands of years ago, twelve powerful warriors locked away a deadly creature called The Abyss who threatened to destroy humanity. The warriors were greatly celebrated throughout the world and founded twelve unique kingdoms. Over time when war and natural disasters plague the lands, some kingdoms grew stronger, while others became extinct.
Seventeen-year-old, Amara, works as a gardner in Lady Helena's gardens by day, and as a healer for her village by the evening, along with her younger sister Ebele. All Amara wants is to survive under Lady Helena's tyrannical reign on Sakana Island without drawing any attention to herself… that is until she discovers she is one of the lost warriors: The House of the Fish. With a war transpiring, new alliances to be made and enemies lurking in the shadows, can Amara learn hundreds of years of lost tradition and magic and adopt her new role as a Zodiac warrior?

The Aurelia⎪✓
"I call bullshit." Digging my finger into his broad chest, I met his intense stare without an ounce of fright, "I've been calling bullshit for the past two weeks, do you see me doing anything about it?"

His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
