Nemesis series
Daniels' first book, Dreadnought, introduces a girl named Danny Tozer who inherits the mantle of her world's foremost superhero[6]—the eponymous Dreadnought—which gives her powers like flight and the feminine body she has wanted ever since she realized she was transgender,[3][7] and thrusts her into confrontation with a trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF) witch and other supervillains.[1][2][5][8] It was a Lambda Literary Award finalist.[9]
Daniels' second book, Sovereign, introduces a genderqueer superhero named Kinetiq, continues to explore the moral and mental health implications of Danny's fights with villains, and has her file for emancipation from her abusive family and find love.[2][5][10]
A third and final installment in the Nemesis series is currently in development.[11]
In 2018, the series was optioned for film to Wayne Brady's production company, Makin' It Up Productions.[6]
