Game of Crones by Donna McDonald leans into one of her favorite themes: older women getting a second act, this time with magical powers. The trilogy started in 2022 with Stone Cold Crone and continued through Crone Alone and Crone Wars in 2023. Each title plays on the word “crone,” turning what could be an insult into something fun and powerful.
The series is aimed at readers who enjoy paranormal romance with midlife heroines. McDonald brings her characteristic humor to the supernatural setting, giving her characters real-world problems alongside their magical ones. If you like the idea of women past forty gaining witchy abilities and finding love while they’re at it, this is a good fit.
