Faerly Screwed

Midlife wasn't taking it easy on Cassie, until a trip to Las Vegas with her friends started her on a fantastical path of self-discovery she didn't know she needed… let alone if she'd survive.Cassie thought being a single empty-nester with a heap of trust issues to work through was bad enough. Then she wakes up in a strange place filled with dangerous people who call themselves Fae and make everything she'd already been through seem like a walk in the park.After being kidnapped and lugged around by a group of brutes, Cassie ends up face-to-face with the scariest man she's ever seen. The beast of a man, Ares, claims to be the headmaster of a special school for Fae. He doesn't know why she was sent there, only that she can't leave until she graduates from their program - a program that could take her decades to complete, if she survives.Determined to get back home at any cost, Cassie quickly discovers there's a major kink in her plan: unlike everyone else at Daerkmuhn, she doesn't have a lick of magic. It's a fact that's literally and figuratively thrown at her multiple times a day, often resulting in a visit with the healers.Armed with a killer smile, stubborn determination, and a penchant for handing out hugs, Cassie is going back to school to show these Fae why you should never underestimate a woman in her forties.________The Four-Oh series follows a group of women as they navigate and celebrate the highs and lows of midlife while being thrust into the world of the supernatural.
