A magical-girl story of self-discovery and supernatural defense

Claire Ryland’s new life takes shape across two fronts: discovering herself as a young transgender woman and joining Portland’s secret magical-girl defense squad. The band-connected team faces interdimensional monsters, placing Claire’s personal transition alongside a fantasy adventure shaped by music and the American Pacific Northwest. With an LGBTQ+ cast and villains described as more than they first appear, the book brings identity, transformation, and supernatural conflict into the same story. It opens the Maidensong Magica universe of magical-girl tales.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in transgender coming-of-self stories alongside fantasy adventure.
  • Fans of magical-girl anime and tokusatsu-inspired fiction.
  • Readers seeking LGBTQ+ characters and a Pacific Northwest setting.

Book overview

The last night of Claire Ryland's old life in the closet was pretty normal, aside from the alley fight with interdimensional monsters. Fortunately, the drummer of her favorite local band transformed into a magical girl and saved her.

Then Claire became a magical girl as well. Things got a little complicated after that.

Now Claire is juggling two new lives: living as a girl and as a member of Portland's super-secret supernatural defense squad, the hard-rocking magical girls known as ... Magica Riot!

The story of a young transgender woman who's discovering herself at the same time she's learning how to be a magical girl, Magica Riot is an action-filled musical adventure inspired by classic magical girl anime, tokusatsu shows, and the vibe of the American Pacific Northwest. Featuring a cast of LGBTQ] magical girls, mysterious monsters, and villains that are more than they appear to be, Magica Riot shows that finding your true self is the first step toward saving the world.

The debut work in the Maidensong Magica universe of magical girl stories!
