Overview

Clara Bennett is forty-five, divorced, and disappearing. Her colleagues steal her ideas without flinching. Her doctor dismisses her symptoms as perimenopause. Her ex-husband weaponizes their children to dodge child support. And her nineteen-year-old daughter keeps telling her to fight back - as if it were that simple. Then the feathers appear. What Clara's doctor calls hot flashes are something far older and more dangerous: the awakening of a dormant harpy bloodline triggered by decades of suppressed rage. When her transformation becomes impossible to hide, Clara is drawn to a hidden sanctuary for supernatural ""late bloomers"" - midlife women and men whose powers emerge only after life has broken them open. There she meets Silas, the sanctuary's exhausted, iron-willed protector, who carries the scars of every person he's failed to save. As Clara learns to fly, to fight, and to wield a voice that can shatter stone, she must also navigate a fractured community under siege by a rogue faction that believes coexistence with humans is extinction by another name. But Clara didn't spend twenty years in corporate boardrooms without learning how to read a room, build a coalition, and dismantle a threat from the inside out. The skills that made her invisible in the human world might be exactly what saves the supernatural one. THE HARPY'S SECOND ACT is a paranormal novel about the power women accumulate in silence - and what happens when they stop being quiet. For readers who loved the midlife reinvention of THE WITCH'S HEART, the found-family warmth of HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA, and the fierce feminine rage of CIRCE.
