Publisher's Summary

Dark magic is forbidden at Zodiac Academy. That’s why I hide it so well. But now, I’m supposed to mentor Darius Acrux, the son of the most ruthless dragon shifter in Solaria. If he’s caught using blood magic, he’ll lose his claim to the throne. The problem is? Our families are up to something, and we’re determined to find out what. No matter what dark power we must turn to....

Welcome to Zodiac Academy, where your star sign defines your destiny. As the Fae of the future, you will soon learn the merciless way to claim your power. Life among the vampires, shifters, and sirens is no easy ride, but if you can make it through your exams, you might just be able to harness your inner strength and earn your place among the elite.

This is a prequel novella set five years before Zodiac Academy: The Awakening, the first book in the Zodiac Academy series.

Do not read this until end of book 3

I started zodiac academy with this book and I wish I would have read the main series in publication order rather than chronological order. This book reveals more than you probably want to know before you have even met our characters. This is better as a book to enhance what you already have learned in the series. So I suggest reading after book 3.

Definitely have to read!!

Lionel is the worst!!! I feel like he is only going to get worse as the series goes on. I loved getting a glimpse into Darius and Lance's relationship and can't wait to see how it affects the rest of the books!

Can’t get enough

I absolutely loved this!!! Hearing Darius and Lance when they still had hope and were not wrapped up in the things that come later in the series is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Love the authors love the narrators, I am 100% a twisted sisters groupie at this point.

Eating it up!

I will devour anything the sisters put out with enthusiasm. This was no different. Solaria is such an incredible place.

ZA 0.5: Fills in some blanks…

If you’re curious about the events that kept Lance from his dream pit ball career, his guardian bond to Darius, and his sister, Clara’s, fall from grace - this will satisfy you.

Great narration!

love it

I absolutely love the narration for this book Jake did an amazing job bringing this story to life for us. I love how he was able to show Orion the way he was before the rest of the series how we know him to be. This book gives such an amazing insight into the events before the ZA world we know and love❤️❤️

Great Prequel

While you eventually learn about all the information presented in the book in the actual series, it is still a great way to learn about Orion and Darius. It goes more into depth of the night they got their bond and the night Lance’s sister died.

This book is the prequel Novella to the Zodiac Academy. If you haven’t started this series, this book is a great place to start. It is not required to read before you start the main series, but you gain insight of the pivotal point in Darius & Lance’s (who are the two main men in the series) lives.

Seeing how these two ended up where they are at the start of Zodiac Academy Awakening helps you to better understand these two character’s attitudes. And this story might be helpful for later books as well. When I first read ZA1 I accidently skipped over this prequel since I first read book 1 as a recommendation from Amazon. But looking back, I think I would have liked to have this understanding from these events that occurred 5 years before the twins come to Zodiac Academy.

Definitely a must listen to series! I loved hearing Jake as the narrator for this book. It was so well done!
