Iris Beaglehole

The Crone of Midnight Embers (Myrtlewood Crones Book 1)

Sixty something Delia Spark is in a bind. Her life, like her career as a London theatre director, is about to implode not helped by a scandalous divorce, a tarnished reputation and her daughter’s refusal to speak to her. To make matters worse things have a habit of spontaneously combusting around her and she can’t quite fathom out why! Her sixties were supposed to be a quiet peaceful time, when she could be herself and really enjoy life, but something went wrong with the script! Escape is her only option and Delia finds her way to the remote village of Myrtlewood in search of calm and solace. But what Delia doesn’t realise is that even stranger adventures are awaiting her in this quaint, unspoilt haven. She’s also oblivious of the undercurrents caused by her arrival or the whispers of magic that leave her on the edge of an extraordinary transformation. As Delia grapples with these new realities, an ominous shadow lurks – a secret Order, steeped in ancient lore, is watching, plotting and scheming forcing her to confront her destiny. Will she surrender to the enchanting pull of Myrtlewood, or claw back her former life from her power-hungry ex?
