Synopsis

The Zodiac Legacy meets Spirit Animals in this epic, heartwarming adventure!

Usagi can hear a squirrel’s heartbeat from a mile away, and soar over treetops in one giant leap. She was born in the year of the wood rabbit, and it’s given her extraordinary zodiac gifts.

But she can never use them, not while the mysterious, vicious Dragonlord hunts down all those in her land with zodiac powers. Instead, she must keep her abilities―and those of her rambunctious sister Uma―a secret.

After Uma is captured by the Dragonguard, Usagi can no longer ignore her powers. She must journey to Mount Jade with the fabled Heirs of the Twelve, a mystical group of warriors who once protected the land.

As new mysteries unfold, Usagi must decide who she stands with, and who she trusts, as she takes on deadly foes on her path to the elusive, dangerous Dragonlord himself.

The journey to Mount Jade is perilous, and the Dragonlord is waiting. Can one girl and her new friends stand against an empire?

• A Sister’s Quest: Usagi has always protected her little sister, Uma. Now, with Uma captured by the fearsome Dragonguard, Usagi will risk everything to get her back.
• Extraordinary Magical Powers: Born in the year of the Rabbit, Usagi has secret gifts she’s never been allowed to use. But to save her sister, she’ll have to unleash her full potential.
• Magical Warriors: She won’t be alone. Usagi joins the Heirs of the Twelve, a legendary team of heroes, each with their own unique zodiac abilities.
• Asian-Inspired Fantasy: A rich fantasy world inspired by Asian mythology, filled with elemental magic, mystical artifacts, and an epic journey to the sacred Mount Jade.
