Rue the Slay: A Magical Midlife Romantasy

About Rue the Slay: A Magical Midlife Romantasy

Some destinies don't knock. They kidnap. Rue Channing has spent forty-something years carefully constructing a life with zero surprises.

As a witch whose visions are more inconvenient than useful, she knows better than to trust fate — which is why she's furious to find herself lifted from her comfortable existence as a small-town librarian and deposited, against her will, in the coastal town of Laurel Haven, Maine. She didn't ask for a new life. She wants her old one back.

But Laurel Haven has been waiting for her. Three hundred years ago, four witches tried and failed to protect the town from a spreading darkness. That darkness never left — and Rue is here to finish what her ancestors began.

As if an unwanted ancestral mission isn't enough, there's Ry McFadden. Gruff, guarded, and impossible to ignore, he's exactly the kind of complication Rue doesn't need. She's not looking for romance, and especially not a slow-burn entanglement with a man whose contradictions only make him more infuriating.

But destiny has a way of ignoring what we want. A witchy small-town romance with a gruff-but-tender hero, a midlife heroine stepping into her power, and a centuries-old mystery that won't stay buried.
