About this listen

She wanted purpose. She found dark magick and war.

For Claire Emerson, there is nothing ordinary about turning sixty.

First, there are the crows. Then, a pendant that unlocks a gate to a house in the woods—which comes with a snarky gargoyle, an entirely too-sexy wolf shifter claiming to be Claire's protector, and a legacy that turns her reality upside down.

Because divorced, menopausal grandmothers with creaky hips and hot flashes? They don't just randomly discover they're next in a long line of powerful women protecting the world from the dark magick of Mages.

Claire's first instinct is to turn tail and run back to the safety of baking cookies and reading bedtime stories. But when it becomes clear the Mages have targeted her, she may have no choice but to accept her calling. There's just one problem: she never got the lifetime of training she was supposed to have, and her magick is... well, unreliable would be an understatement.

With the Mages threatening everything she loves, can Claire learn what she needs to in time to become Crone? Or will she be the one to lose an ancient war—and her life?

Claire's growth and reckoning connects to many of my own fears, frustrations and desires. Her close relationships with her family and neighbors makes her even more relatable. Her courage and success, whether intentional or accidental, is inspiring. The Magik and links to Camelot are retold with a satisfying twist and fresh intrigue. I encourage readers to find out why "Becoming Crone" by Lydia M. Hawke is a delightful best seller.

I love getting to know the characters and their relationships and how they grow and change as the story progresses. The struggle of learning that your life is nothing like you believed and accepting a world where everything is possible works great because Claire is mature. This book kept my interest and is definitely bing worthy. As a crone myself I can totally relate.

Great Character Development

Loved the story and narrator! Finally a story with a main character that is real and not 18 or 20...or even 50 but magically made young and spry. Claire is awesome and the story is too. If your tired of kids saving the world you won't regret this read/listen :)

Finally!!!

Magic

The story is supernatural but truly easy to slip into! You’ll enjoy the wonderfully talented narrator’s voice as you step into the mythical yet real life of Claire, a woman who just wants to be seen as grandmother but winds up as warrior. I loved it. Plan on buying the entire series!

Creative and oddly believable!

Great performance of a great, unique, well written story. The characters are fresh and well performed. The dialogue and unfolding of this fascinating story makes it easy to get lost in the characters and plot. Well done, I highly recommend.

Delightful, Inventive, well Written story!

Suggested to me by Audible, due to my sci-fi/supernatural books I love to listen to on my ways to and from work. I wasn't really expecting much, but now I'm HOOKED! And now I gotta get the rest if the series! Seriously worth a listen/read. 8/5 stars...(rarely do I ever give 9/5 or 10/5...). Started off a bit slow, but after the first 2 chapters, I couldn't stop!

NOT what I was expecting....BETTER!

Took a few minutes to get into it but now I’m all in. Can’t wait for book 2. Bring it on Claire, 60 is freedom to be who your meant to be.
