Summary:
For Mary, coming back from the dead meant losing everything that made sense. She’s a hunter out of time, a mother to strangers, and desperately lonely. Freshly resurrected and thrust into a world that no longer feels like home, she drives away from the bunker, seeking solace in the familiar: the road, the hunt. When she meets a beautiful, mysterious woman while investigating a case in a small, Appalachian town, every instinct tells Mary to run; but every moment spent with Rowena has Mary running TO her instead. With Rowena, Mary begins feeling more alive and more like herself than she’s felt since she’s been back…or maybe ever. Amara may have pulled Mary from the earth, but what if a witch’s hands are the ones actually capable of bringing a resurrected hunter to life? OR What if, after leaving the bunker in Season 12, instead of getting tangled up with the British MoL, Mary had gotten “tangled up” with Rowena instead?
