Take the elitism of Gossip Girl, the adventurism of Six of Crows, the usual vampire and werewolf mythology, with some mystery and you have Zodiac Rising. Each member of the ragtag team put together to reclaim the missing zodiac statues have their own side agendas and reasons for joining the heist. If they pull it off, they will be legends and everything will be returned to normal. That is if they can keep it together and not let past hurts get in the way. It’s interesting seeing the different members interact with each other and how little each Descendant, mortal and immortal, knows about the others aside from rumors, stories, and embittered feelings.
