Charon has kept the ledger for centuries. He waits by riverbanks and café windows, in fields of battle and hospital rooms, in skyscrapers and suburban neighborhoods. He is polite, fashionable, and incurably curious about what it means to live a life without ever truly having one for himself. This novel is a tapestry of private moments, a ferryman’s small mercies, a godlike game of chance, and the quiet question Charon cannot shake—what does it mean to remember the dead when memory is all that you have left? Join him, and together you may find an answer.

Forty-two-year-old Mia Thorne is settling into her new life in the small riverside town of Newberry, Pennsylvania. Part of her misses the bright lights of the big city, but Mia is determined to make the best of the cottage she inherited and its surrounding gardens, as well as her blossoming love life. Residents like Scarlet and Patrick have welcomed her with open arms and encourage Mia to embrace her special abilities with the same enthusiasm.

When Eloise Worthington drops dead and awakens in the afterlife, she knows she doesn’t belong—mainly because she’s surrounded by gods, witches, vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural species. She soon learns this supernatural retirement village isn’t the last stop on the Afterlife Express—and villagers can be blinked out of existence. When that happens to Zeus, Eloise finds herself the prime suspect. Never one to shy away from a challenge (although her idea of one usually involves tequila and a cartwheel), she sets out to clear her name and figure out where she truly belongs.

Mia’s biggest nightmare is about to manifest—her mother is coming to town with her husband du jour in tow. Never mind the sorry state of the garden, the hormonal inches insulating Mia’s waist, or the Orca-sized cat that likes to rest her girth on Mia’s head in the middle of the night when she’s too tired to object. Mia has a new job to show off and a blossoming romance with a man guaranteed to win her mother’s stamp of approval—not that Mia cares what her mother thinks. She’s a middle-aged woman with her own life and… Okay, she totally cares.

Mia Thorne’s midlife makeover is going better than she ever expected. She has a new job, a new relationship, a new garden—well, never mind the garden. She doesn’t even mind that she’s back to pounding the pavement to generate ad revenue for the local newspaper. Unfortunately an important meeting with the marketing director of the Newberry Playhouse generates the wrong kind of buzz when a beloved actress is found dead the day of her big performance. The murder triggers a ghostly rumor that had been put to rest long ago.

This 3-book omnibus will send you on an action-packed magical adventure filled with found family, mystery, romance, and humor woven into a tapestry of myths and legends.
