A Midlife Fairy Tale

Sparrow “Ro” Meadowcroft is on the verge of landing her dream job as a museum curator. Passionate about history and antiquities, she eagerly examines a strange donation featuring an ornamental sword stuck fast inside a boulder. Teasingly testing the legend, Ro gives the hilt a tug—and pulls it completely free. Thrust from ordinary midlife into a realm of magic, she discovers she is the rightful ruler of the Radiant fae. In The Accidental Queen: A Midlife Fairy Tale, Ro must navigate treacherous court politics and embrace an unexpected destiny.

Now crowned queen of the Radiant fae, Ro is determined to bridge the bitter divide with the rival Grym kingdom. Hoping to spark peace through an ancient diplomatic tradition, she invites Queen Anyka to Willow Hall for a royal retreat. But good intentions are not enough to wash away generations of bad blood. In The Summer Palace: A Midlife Fairy Tale, Ro quickly realizes their neutral haven hides dark magical secrets and lingering resentments. If Ro cannot outmaneuver unseen perils, her grand bid for harmony could destroy her people.

Peace between the fae courts remains infuriatingly out of reach. With Grym Queen Anyka plotting total conquest, Ro protects an ancient grimoire pulsing with lethal dark magic that her rival will kill to possess. Desperate to strengthen her defenses, Ro ventures toward high altitudes to forge an alliance with the volatile, fire-breathing rulers of the realm in The Cloud Kingdom: A Midlife Fairy Tale. But navigating treacherous skies and unpredictable new allies proves perilous—especially when an assassin begins hunting Ro.

War looms on the horizon, driving Ro to seek out the neph—a reclusive, shadow-dwelling race whose ancient power could tip the scales. But winning over these secretive beings means walking directly into the dark. Meanwhile, ruthless Queen Anyka builds a monstrous army with brutal mountain trolls. In The Shadowed Throne: A Midlife Fairy Tale, Ro faces cutthroat politics, whispering dark magic from a forbidden grimoire, and deadly enemy alliances. Ro must hold onto her courage, or the realm will fall to utter destruction.

The fate of two fractured fae realms hangs by a thread in The Shattered Crown: A Midlife Fairy Tale. An eerie silence falls across the sea as power shifts unpredictably in Malveaux, leaving Ro to face delicate negotiations and fragile alliances with a scarred kingdom. Ro must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to safeguard her people as long-buried secrets tear through courtly trust. When power alone cannot guarantee survival, Ro faces a high-stakes final reckoning where every misstep risks breaking the realm forever.
