The Chic Crone

A cozy fantasy of midlife magic, dangerous fae, and second chances

At sixty, Olivia Furie’s life doesn’t fall apart. It catches fire.

Widowed, broke, and suddenly… dangerously combustible, Olivia is forced to confront a truth she’s spent a lifetime avoiding: Something is very wrong.

When a mysterious letter summons her to the hidden village of Rowanswood, Olivia—and her sharp-eyed cat, Magnus, leave behind the ashes of her old life in search of answers. What she finds instead is magic. Unpredictable, inconvenient, and entirely unwilling to be ignored.

Among eccentric witches, ancient secrets, and a man who refuses to stay out of her way, Olivia begins to realize: She isn’t just unlucky. She’s powerful.
