Launch | Zodiac Rising by Katie Zhao

Their Time Has Come!

Join us for the launch of Zodiac Rising, the mystifying new YA title from KATIE ZHAO! In this thrilling new title, magic meets dark academia at a New York boarding school that’s hidden from mortal eyes. When a student is killed over priceless treasure, the Descendants of the Zodiac assemble a crew to avenge their classmate's murder and heist back what's rightfully theirs. Katie will be in conversation with AMÉLIE WEN ZHAO, author or Dark Star Burning, Ash Falls White.

In Zodiac Rising, at a secret Manhattan boarding school, the Descendants of the Chinese zodiac have hidden away since the source of their magic — the twelve zodiac statues — was vandalized and lost to time. Thus, a curse befell the Descendants, and they’ve lived as creatures of darkness... until now. When the lost statues suddenly resurface and a powerful classmate is found dead, all signs point to foul play from the fae. With the chance to take back what's rightfully theirs and break the curse, the Descendants must assemble an elite crew, and then leave their fate in the hands of these four beings. But the wrath of the fae waits at every turn. One wrong move and the fate of their kind will come crashing down...
