Descrip­tions

Sur la planète du Cancer, comme dans le reste de la constellation du Zodiaque, l'astrologie régit la vie quotidienne. Pas de place pour les imprévus, et encore moins pour une catastrophe. Pourtant, Rhoma, jeune étudiante Zodaï, est hantée par de terribles visions. Personne ne la croit mais l'impensable se produit brutalement : une des lunes du Cancer explose. Raz-de-marée, pluies de météorites, tout l'univers de la jeune fille est plongé dans le chaos. Aidée de son mentor, le flegmatique Mathias, et d'Hysan, l'excentrique émissaire du signe de la Balance, Rhoma se lance alors dans une course contre la montre au travers de la galaxie pour prévenir les autres civilisations de la menace ancestrale qui plane sur elles. Car les douze signes du zodiaque étaient à l'origine treize... et, dans l'ombre, le dernier attend son heure. Celle de la destruction.

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.

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?
