About this listen

I’m a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I’m Fae.

But of course there’s a catch–all I have to do to claim my birth right is prove that I’m the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that’s true as I’m the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn’t put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could.

The school they’ve sent me to is both dangerous as sh*t and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon and don’t even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on people’s emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy.

Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if I’m going to beat down my classmates–which is actively encouraged by the way.

My biggest problem is the drool worthy Dragon shifter who has his eyes on my throne. He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell.

All I’ve got to do is survive. But fate might have other ideas.

Dammit, why couldn’t I have gotten a letter to Hogwarts?

This is a dark, bully romance–don’t go expecting a sweet school for magic with friends around every corner. Fae fight for everything they own and Zodiac Academy is a cutthroat school for students aged 18+ where only the strongest prevail. There’s no Dumbledore here to save anyone’s ass and Lionel Acrux will give Voldemort a run for his money in the evil dictator category. So hold onto your stardust (broomsticks not required) and get ready for a bumpy ride.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

As a massive fan of the Zodiac Academy series I was so excited to listen to the first graphic audio/dramatised production. I did really enjoy lots about the production but unfortunately for me I was unable to give five stars as there were a few casting issues Lance and Geraldine were a little iffy but didn't impact my enjoyment. Darius' casting was a massive issue for me throughout the entire audiobook, I tried really hard to get past it but I just couldn't. I feel the actor's voice may work for his father Lionel Acrux but not for Darius. Overall the story is still brilliant and flowed so well in this format

Great Story - Issues with casting

I really liked the story and narrators. The only thing which pissed me off was that you have to figure out yourself who is speaking. The worst were voices of Tori and Darcy as the were narrated by the same woman...
Overall, it was a good book. The romance is burning reaaaallly slow - too slow!

Great book

I've listened to all the graphic audio available to date in this book series and was so enthralled and couldn't wait that I went and read the rest of the books. (didn't leave my house in 3 weeks, but will still listen to graphic audio when the next one comes available ). I didn't rate this book initially as I wasn't sure if I could get into it, thought it was a very slow burn. Saying that I'm glad it was as this is a big book series where the excitement and spice built up. This series beats Acotar and fourth wing for me. Love the way each character gets to narriate. Voice actors are perfect for each, even Orion.

Great world builder set up, stick with it

I didn’t quite like the voice of most main male characters like Orion or Darius, wish they had more interesting voice

I found this to be a very good production and the casting suited the characters.
I am now hooked and I am away to download the next book.
