Jade Evergreen and the Perils of Polybius
A downloadable book
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!
Jade Evergreen and the Perils of Polybius is a new novelette in the Maidensong Magica queer magical girl universe, the setting of 2024's Magica Riot. It tells the story of a pivotal adventure in the early career of Portland's original magical girl, Jade Evergreen, in the year 1981.
This novelette is a tie-in with the upcoming Magica Riot sequel novel, Magica Riot: Full Bloom, but can also be enjoyed as a standalone magical girl story! Elements and characters from this novelette will appear again in Full Bloom in the present day.
Jade Evergreen and the Perils of Polybius was written by trans author Kara Buchanan, and features cover art and character design by artist Amber Dill.

Ooh, this looks interesting. I guess I'm giving you money for this and Magica Riot.
That was really cute! Like a big warm hug... <3 Jade's such a fun protagonist, and Makula was so cool... I hope to see them in the next story you write!
Thank you so much! They're both in the next Magica Riot novel, so you get to see Jade when she's in her 50s and still super cool :D
