"charmingly witchy adult fantasy" ~Booklife Reviews

Fans of cozy fantasies and compelling adult women protagonists who find purpose—and fabulousness—in nature, magic, and new connections will adore the laid-back, lavender-scented vibes as Olivia goes from destitute loneliness to settling into the charming village of Rowanswood, whose scones, teas, crockery, beasts, magic, and ritual all are described with inviting relish. Olivia’s journey to Cronehood is nuanced, her struggles endearingly human as she finds her path toward letting go of her old life to embrace the new.

About

Kirsten Marion writes fantasy for readers who like magic with wit, warmth, and a few sharp edges. She is the author of the Rowanswood Crones series, the Hamish & Magnus Investigate novellas, and the adult fantasy novel The Wooden Ring.

Her stories often explore power, reinvention, belonging, second chances, and the unexpected consequences of becoming exactly who you were meant to be. Whether she is writing about magical villages, opinionated familiars, reluctant crones, or young women caught in dangerous struggles over legitimacy, loyalty, and survival, Kirsten is drawn to character-driven fantasy with emotional stakes, layered relationships, and a strong sense of place.

She lives on Vancouver Island, where she writes, walks the hills, drinks excellent coffee, and remains under the supervision of imaginary piskies and highly judgmental cats.
