Zodiac Academy 1

by Peckham, Caroline

Twin sisters Darcy and Tory Vega discover their true heritage as Fae princesses, but the homecoming is far from a fairytale. Thrust into the brutal, high-stakes world of Zodiac Academy, they are forced to navigate a hierarchy dominated by four arrogant, powerful heirs who view the twins as intruders to be broken. This is a story defined by its relentless pacing and sheer emotional intensity. The line between cruelty and obsession blurs as the sisters fight to survive a social landscape where magic is a weapon and humiliation is the primary currency. If you enjoy stories where the power dynamic is constantly shifting and you do not mind your protagonists being put through the wringer, this book will keep you hooked. It is for readers who crave high-drama, morally grey characters, and the kind of tension that makes you want to throw the book across the room.
