Overview

"The Thirteenth Zodiac is a bildungsroman fantasy novel. It follows Ella Brando, a junior in high school living in a small North Carolina town, who becomes the Pisces a member of the Zodiac Guardians after the previous Guardian dies mysteriously. The duty of the Guardians is to defeat the Physic Parasites who syphon off positive energy from people and create negative emotions, throwing people's lives off balance. When an old enemy of the Guardians' arises causing people in Ella's town to go missing, she must come to grips with the magical world she's been thrusted into in order to save her town. This story was inspired by my love for mahou shoujo (or magical girl) manga growing up. I wanted to give young girls a protagonist they can root for, who deals with real life struggles like school and friendship, while also overcoming great, magical, obstacles." -- Abstract
