Midlife, Magic and Mystery

Neris thought midlife meant settling down—not stepping into a magical prophecy.

At forty-one, Neris—a newly magical archivist still grieving her mother and adjusting to life on the mystical Aileandra Isle—was finally finding her footing. Sure, she talks to unicorns now, and yes, her pendant may be whispering, but at least things were starting to make sense.

Until a young stranger crashes through the island’s magical barrier, wearing a dragon scale around her neck and no clue how she got there.

Now Neris is playing mentor to a fiercely skeptical twenty-something named Xenia, fielding chaos from the increasingly divided Council of Six, and trying to keep the island’s ancient magic from unraveling. Oh—and something long buried under the loch might be waking up.

Turns out, Neris isn’t done evolving. And this time, it’s not just her future at stake—it’s the entire island’s.

Luckily, she’s got help: a loyal unicorn shifter, a grumpy dragon warrior who might just care more than he lets on, and a stubborn spark that refuses to die. But there’s danger too: a power-hungry Council member, growing shadow magic, and a secret that could shatter everything she thought she knew about her mother—and herself.

To protect the island, Neris will have to embrace her magic, trust her instincts, and accept that her place here isn’t temporary—it’s destiny.

Midlife, Magic & Mystery is the second book in the Mythic Midlife Series—a heartfelt, magical adventure full of ancient secrets, sisterhood, slow-burn romance, and the reminder that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
