The Penventon Book Club: Zodiac Academy

Step Through the Gilded Veil: Zodiac Academy Edition

Step through the Gilded Veil for an evening of celestial magic, elemental power, and heated discussion.

Join us in the atmospheric Penventon Park Hotel Wine Cellar as we dive into the ruthless world of Solaria. This month, we are discussing the brutal and addictive first installment of the series: Zodiac Academy: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti.

Whether you are Team Orion, Team Darius, or just trying to survive the Savage Princes, come share your theories, favorite moments, and character deep-dives.

This Month’s Special Activity: Gilded Constellation Notebooks 📖✨

To celebrate the stars of Solaria, we are leveling up our session! In addition to our book chat, we will be crafting our own Astra-themed notebooks. Using gold leaf and metallic etching, you’ll design a custom constellation cover—perfect for tracking your theories, favorite quotes, or your own journey through the Academy. Whether you’re a Leo, a Gemini, or still waiting for your "Awakening," you’ll leave with a practical, beautiful keepsake to use for the rest of the series.

• A Spirited Discussion: Deep dives into the brutal trials, the Vega twins' journey, and the elemental magic system.
