Sci-Fi Meets Fantasy in Hit “Zodiac” Series Based on Star Signs
Everyone likes reading horoscopes and finding out about their sign. This is probably why Romina Russell’s Zodiac series has been so popular.
The sci-fi-meets-high-fantasy books are set in a world where each planet is a different house based on a Zodiac sign. The people who live on each planet have characteristics of their sign. For example, Leos are ambitious, Cancers are loving and family based, and Taurus are calm, collected, and respectful to their elders.
Set in its own galaxy, the planets of each house revolve around the star Helios. Each house adds its own attributes to the galaxy, from war to entertainment. The houses each have a guardian that is the strongest star reader in the house and expresses the qualities of the house well.
There are three books in the series so far: Zodiac,Wandering Stars, and Black Moon — and a fourth book on it’s way.
All the books follow the journey of a female protagonist, Rho, a Cancerian teenager, who sees a threat in the stars that no one else can see.
After the moons of Cancer explode, Rho is whisked off from her academy and is taken to the government of Cancer. They ask her to take over as leader of the planet, which she accepts even though she doesn’t know what she is getting into, and where she starts her journey around the galaxy.
Rho, with her ragtag crew, travel around the galaxy warning people about the threat that is looming over the galaxy. Rho has to maneuver her way through each of the unique houses, convincing them about a threat that comes from children stories.
The books can give readers insight into human nature and how one’s personality is influenced by their sign.
