What is the book 'Terra and the Secret of the Constellations. Book 1' about?

Young Terra is an unusual girl. She differs from all other people in that she has no magical abilities at all! After all, the world she lives in is completely different from ours. Here, everything is ruled by 12 constellations - the Zodiacs, and each person has a gift, a gift from the Zodiac under which he was born.

The fact is that Terra was born under the sign of Taurus - the constellation that died in battle with Ophiuchus exactly 75 years ago. From that moment on, no one was born under the constellation Taurus, Terra became a miracle, the only one and therefore 'talentless'. But one day the gift still awakens in the girl. A dangerous force frightens her entire home village, and Terra is forced to flee for her life and find answers. On her journey, she meets Gray, an outcast like her, a boy with mesmerizing deep purple eyes, born under the sign of the disgraced Ophiuchus. Now they must find the Book of Zodiacs together to ascend to the sky, meet the great constellations and learn the secrets of the past and their origins.

How many times have I heard these words? “You are a mere accident,” everyone said: my parents, Lily, the other villagers. The fact that I am the only person born at the end of April, people called it simple bad luck. “You have no gift, Terra,” everyone tells me. But I am stubborn. I do not want to give up. I don't want to and I won't.

Find true friends, defeat dangerous monsters, sort out their feelings for each other and save the world from the impending war - are Terra and Gray up to it?
