A new ‘Magical Girls’ series in the vein of Sailor Moon or W.I.T.C.H. for a new generation of girls and boys, written and illustrated by two extremely talented young creators. Earth is a world of light and order. Next to it, there’s another world, one full of darkness and violence. A Door stands between them. A Door that opens every two hundred years and releasing dark creatures that invade our world. To fight that evil The Door chooses five girls and bestows them with the powers of the five planes (Corporeal, Elemental, Boreal, Mental, and Essential), which transforms them into Mystical, warriors girls, Guardians of the Door. Even though Erin, Nora, Iris, Hana and Luna share a classroom, they share little else. But one fateful night, their lives change forever. Each chapter is told from the point of view of one of the book’s five protagonists, each of them unique on their own way. Their story is filled with fantasy and action scenes combined with the day-to-day troubles of these fifteen-year-old girls. The Mysticals are: Erin Brave, decisive, a natural leader. Erin is passionate about science and incredibly popular. She will be granted the powers of the Corporeal Plane and will become the Corporeal Mystical with enhanced speed, strength and senses. Iris An artist through and through, Iris is extremely independent and doesn’t care a wink what others think. Terribly mature for her age, she sometimes prefers to retreat from the world. She will be granted the powers of the Mental Plane, which include telepathy and telekinesis. She will be the Mental Mystical. Nora Shy and discreet, she doesn’t mind being in Erin’s shadow. A team player, she will be granted powers of the Elemental Plane, which will allow her to control the natural elements. Nora will be the Elemental Mystical. Luna A practical girl who loves astronomy, Luna is the only one out of the five girls who knows about the existence of the Door and the role the Mystical have to play. Granted the powers of the Essential Plane, Luna will become the Essential Mystical, with the ability to control the energy around her. Hana Hana dances to her own tune, which is flashy and vibrant. An absent-minded unredeemable gossip, she dreams of becoming an actress. She will be granted the powers of the Boreal Plane and will become the Boreal Mystical, with the ability to manipulate light and heat. The series’ publication includes a significant press and marketing campaign.
