Midlife Crashing

I am about to become something I didn't know I could be. And you know what? I like it.

My name is Serena, and for me, my adult life has been nothing short of a fairytale. My early life however; not so great. I suffer from what my therapist calls lost time. I have no memories of my childhood from five to fifteen. Add to that, my crippling fear of the dark and tight spaces, and you can see why I like everything in its proper place in my life.

I thought turning fifty-five would be celebrating surviving another trip around the sun. I mean, I already have everything in life I could ask for; a great career, best friend, and a husband that I would move mountains for.

But on the night of my birthday, I am hit with something that will rock my world forever. A gruesome attack leads to the revelation that my husband is a witch, and that he works for a very shady, very secretive organization.

But it's not just him. That night my eyes were open to all manner of supernatural beings roaming our community. I've been ripped out of my comfortable existence and plunged into a nightmare world filled with things that want my husband dead. But to do that, they're going to have to get past the new me.

Turns out, this exposure to magic has done wonders for my memory. All these supernatural creatures are frightening...but I may just be the worst of them all.

At this point in my life, I thought I was already who I was meant to be. Imagine my surprise when I realized I am becoming something more powerful and more terrifying, than anything in my wildest nightmares.
