Jennifer Safrey's After Happily Ever Available Beginning June 10

New Novel is an Epic Tale of Midlife Rebellion, as Three Princesses Rewrite Their Fairy-Tale Endings

GRASS VALLEY, CA, UNITED STATES, May 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sibylline Press is proud to announce Jennifer Safrey’s new novel After Happily Ever: An Epic Novel of Midlife Rebellion. Safrey’s fantasy is the story of three princesses who expected to enjoy a life of “Happily Ever After” after finding their true loves, but now in midlife, cracks in the “happily” are undermining the fairy tale. Available on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, the novel is available as a paperback and e-book from Sibylline Press; and audiobook from Tantor Media.

Princesses Neve, Della, and Bry are sisters-in-law, having married into the royal Charming family, and for the last thirty-plus years, they’ve been living a coveted happily-ever-after life in the idyllic kingdom of Foreverness. But royal life isn’t what it seems. Bry’s people-pleasing is exhausting her, Della’s exquisite and renowned beauty is fading with time, and Neve dreads the prospect of becoming queen one day, because power makes one a target, and she doesn’t want to be killed ... again. Then the king’s sudden death thrusts each princess into a personal quest that shows her the truth behind the kingdom’s “perfection” and challenges her sense of purpose. Will each of the royal women take her rightful place, build her new legend, and create her own new happily-ever-after, in midlife? And will the kingdom of Foreverness survive the drastic changes?

Praise for After Happily Ever: An Epic Novel of Midlife Rebellion:

“A captivating magical adventure, a clever fairytale upending, and a rousing feminist anthem.” —Katie Williams, Finalist for the Kirkus Reviews prize, Author of My Murder.

“A refreshing reimagining of fairy-tale figures that redefines what it means to find our happy ending.” —Kirkus Review (Starred Review)

“Jennifer Safrey gives new meaning to the word ‘fairest’ in this once upon a time tale that shows us what lies beyond ‘happily ever after.’ She masterfully weaves together themes of female friendship, aging, magic, and power into a novel that kept me in thrall to the end.
