They say that by the age of forty you should have gained the skills and experience to have a better life.
But the only thing I've gained is a job promotion to permanent desk jockey until retirement. I thought I escaped my mediocre destiny when I met my husband . . . until he died on our honeymoon and a series of unfortunate events left me with a strange mark on my body and my husband's corpse stolen right out of the funeral home!
When I discover a mysterious invitation to a place called the Vale Estates at my door from a long-lost grandmother I had never met. I was ready to toss it away as a scam until I read the words: Your husband's death was not an accident. Desperate for answers, I pack up and go.
But to discover the truth, I'm forced to live in a bizarre estate full of restless ghosts and a creepy goat-legged caretaker while enduring a trial of magic with death as a punishment for failure.
But I'm not a mage! Or at least, I thought.
I guess it’s not too late to learn something new.
Leona Knight lives in Michigan surrounded by a loving family and the chaos of raising three rumbustious dogs and a curious cat. When she isn't brewing up potions and chanting under a full moon, she enjoys reading and baking delicious recipes and forcing her family to eat her experiments. Her favorite time of year is fall because it's the perfect weather and the colorful leaves are beautiful and it ushers in the time of year where it's okay to slip on her black gothic dress and brew up some concoctions for the children to enjoy. After years of reading fantasy and wishing she had powers, she's giving the characters in her head a chance to have their stories told.
