Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a trilogy about the land we’re drawn to, the family we learn to cherish, and the people we long to love...

Book One of The Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy

Dark Witch

With indifferent parents, Iona Sheehan grew up craving devotion and acceptance. From her maternal grandmother, she learned where to find both: a land of lush forests, dazzling lakes, and centuries-old legends.

Ireland. County Mayo, to be exact. Where her ancestors’ blood and magic have flowed through generations - and where her destiny awaits.

Iona arrives in Ireland with nothing but her Nan’s directions, an unfailingly optimistic attitude, and an innate talent with horses. Not far from the luxurious castle where she is spending a week, she finds her cousins, Branna and Connor O’Dwyer. And since family is family, they invite her into their home and their lives. When Iona lands a job at the local stables, she meets the owner, Boyle McGrath. Cowboy, pirate, wild tribal horsemen, he’s three of her biggest fantasy weaknesses all in one big, bold package.

Iona realizes that here she can make a home for herself - and live her life as she wants, even if that means falling head over heels for Boyle. But nothing is as it seems. An ancient evil has wound its way around Iona’s family tree and must be defeated. Family and friends will fight with each other and for each other to keep the promise of hope - and love - alive...

Feels like a rewrite of the Three Sisters Island

I am quite disappointed in Dark Witch book 1 of The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy. I am not sure if it is because the story is very similar to Three Sisters Island trilogy, it felt like Ms Roberts is just rewriting this series or because I found the narrator a little irritating – she made the main character Iona at times a little flaky. I highly doubt I will read the next 2 books in the series.

woudl only give it 2 1/2 stars

It was all great

Love all her trilogy's

Enjoyed the story, not so much the narrator

Similar to NR's other books, but that's what I expected so enjoyed the story. Left me looking forward to Book 2.
I got used to the narrator after a while, but she went a bit overboard & over-dramatic in places. Wouldn't rush to listen to another book narrated by her.

Wonderful Story!!

I loved the characters and the story line! It is well worth it! The performance was brilliant as well!

Another Nora Roberts favorite

Nora Roberts produces yet another perfect combination of romance and magic which takes place in Ireland. The audible performer is topnotch and heartfelt encouraging the readers to fully immerse themselves into the story.

Loved it!

Thought the book was great and the narrator was great too! Hoping to love the next 2 books as much as this one.
