For Claire Emerson, there is nothing ordinary about turning sixty. First, there are the crows. Then, a pendant that unlocks a gate to a house in the woods—which comes with a snarky gargoyle, an entirely too-sexy wolf shifter claiming to be Claire's protector, and a legacy that turns her reality upside down. Because divorced, menopausal grandmothers with creaky hips and hot flashes? They don't just randomly discover they're next in a long line of powerful women protecting the world from the dark magick of Mages.

Sister Monica has defeated the dark Mages' attempts to seize the magickal stone she holds ... so far. But victory has come at great personal cost, and one of her own has been kidnapped. Now, in exchange for Talia's return, Monica's enemy demands not just the stone, but the ancient and powerful Methuselah to wield it for them.

Former nun Sister Monica Barrett is the reluctant keeper of a stone that holds immense dark magick. She’d abandon it if she could, but it’s become attached to her—literally—and there are five more like it in the hands of powerful, corrupt Mages determined to control the very fabric of the world. Even if they destroy that world in the process. Fortunately, Monica’s foes haven’t been able to find the one thing they need to help them tap into the stones’ powers—a mysterious being named Methuselah, who brought the fragments to Earth millennia before. Unfortunately, neither has Monica.

When Claire Emerson imprisoned Morok in the Camlann fragment of the world, it should have been the end of the dark god—and of the war between him and the Crones.
