The Girl Without Magic (The Chronicles of Maggie Trent Book 1) / Megan O'Russell

Death would have been easier, but the Siren wasn't through with her.

A paradise without fear or want—that is the promise of the Siren. But the time has come to purge her Realm of those who have spent their magic.

The Siren dragged Maggie Trent out of a battle and into her Realm, a land where secrets hide in the shadows and pleasure comes at a price Maggie is unwilling to pay. Worlds from home and with a past she’ll fight to forget, Maggie hides from those who want to protect her. When Maggie’s new life begins to unravel, following Bertrand Wayland may be her only chance for survival.

With Bertrand’s promise of adventure in new worlds, and a chance for riches beyond her wildest dreams, Maggie leaps into a journey of blood and romance.

Enter the Siren’s Realm, where your heart’s desire is only a wish away, and death lurks around every corner.

Author Interview

What was the inspiration behind The Girl Without Magic?

After writing The Tethering series, in which the Siren’s Realm is briefly visited, several readers expressed a wish for an entire series to be placed in that world. It was a great idea, so I ran with it!

The Siren’s Realm is a place linking magical worlds together, which gave me the opportunity to create a series in which my characters could visit amazing lands. Think of this as a fantasy version of the world-hopping concept. Readers who love Doctor Who and magic will have a great time discovering adventure in new magical worlds in every book in this series.

What did you enjoy about writing the character of Maggie Trent?

Maggie is a strong female who is constantly thrown into impossible situations. She is caring and capable, she has seen fighting and death, but ultimately, she has still protected this tiny shred of hope that carries her through. As she visits alternate worlds, as she battles new foes, as she learns to survive in the Siren’s Realm, she still believes that there are people and places worth saving. And that takes an incredible amount of strength.

One of the best parts about writing in the young adult fantasy genre is getting to watch Maggie grow as a character as she steps toward adulthood.

What sort of magic can be found in The Girl Without Magic?

Maggie is very much a witch, and magic is a huge part of her, whether she likes it or not.

Within the Siren’s Realm, you’ll find centaurs, trolls, witches, wizards, a few lost humans, and one lonely whale. As the series moves on and Maggie visits other lands, readers will encounter steampunk landscapes, ghosts bent of domination, monsters of all sorts, and all the swords and sorcery a magic lover could ask for.
