Overview

THE SORCERESS APPEARS...

High school is even weirder than Jade Everly could have imagined. After the Maidensong chose her to become JADE EVERGREEN, Portland's first magical girl, she's had to deal with slime monsters, hauntings, and a nosy student reporter. But not even her favorite girl detective books could prepare her for THE PERILS OF POLYBIUS!

About the Author

Magica Riot and the larger Maidensong Magica universe are the creation of author Kara Buchanan, a former city planning journalist and current musician turned fiction writer.

After a dozen years writing about urban issues for various publications in her hometown, she moved to the Pacific Northwest and finally got to be her real self. Taking her love of magical girl anime, her life playing in bands, and her personal experiences dealing with gender issues, she created the Maidensong Magica setting to bring joyful, action-packed queer stories of self-discovery and adventure to the world.

She lives in a modest house with a pretty garden, with her wife and three cats.
