Zodiac Academy: The Romantic Fantasy Series That Has Bewitched Thousands of Readers
There are books you read. And then there are those books that make you look at your watch, discover it's three in the morning, and think: "Okay... just one more chapter."
Zodiac Academy belongs to that second category.
With elemental magic, sparking rivalries, impossible romances, and unforgettable characters, Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's saga has become one of the biggest phenomena in romantic fantasy in recent years.
Whether you've just discovered Solaria or have been seeing this saga's name everywhere for weeks, here's a little spoiler-free guide to get you started.
What is Zodiac Academy?
Imagine an academy where not just ordinary students study, but fae heirs capable of controlling the elements.
Now add impossible trials, power struggles, teachers you'd rather not face, magical creatures, secrets, humor, romantic tension, and a universe where destiny seems written in the stars... even if the protagonists insist on defying it.
Welcome to Zodiac Academy.
The story follows sisters Tory and Darcy Vega, two young women who discover that their lives weren't exactly what they thought and that a magical world awaits them. What seemed like the beginning of a fairy tale soon becomes a constant battle to find their place in Solaria.
And yes... nothing is as simple as it seems.
The order of Zodiac Academy books
If you're starting the saga, this is the recommended reading order for the main novels:
- Zodiac Academy 1: The Awakening

Zodiac Academy finally arrives in Spanish
One of the most anticipated announcements by readers is now a reality.
Crossbooks will publish the first book of the saga in Spanish under the title Zodiac Academy 1. El Despertar, finally bringing this universe to those who have been waiting years for an official Spanish edition.
A perfect opportunity to discover why so many readers are truly obsessed with Tory, Darcy, Darius, or Lance Orion.
Why is it so addictive?
Because Zodiac Academy isn't afraid to play with your emotions.
One chapter can make you laugh.
The next can leave you completely furious.
And the next one... let's not even talk about that.
The saga blends fantasy, romance, humor, tension, friendship, and unexpected twists with a pace that makes it very difficult to close the book when you said you were only going to read "five minutes."
Spoiler: it's never five minutes.
A little trip to Solaria... beyond the books
When a story stays with you even after you close the book, you know it has done something special.
At Monsters Candles, we wanted to capture a piece of that magic in a fragrance inspired by Zodiac Academy, created to accompany those nights when you promise to read one chapter... and end up reading ten.
With notes of tonka bean, cinnamon, sweet pear, vanilla, cedarwood, and incense, it's a warm, enveloping, and slightly mysterious aroma, as if the stars of Solaria had decided to sneak into your reading nook.
Because some stories end on the last page.
And others... continue to smell of magic long after.
