Publisher's summary

Number one New York Times best-selling author Nora Roberts begins the Dragon Heart Legacy - a new trilogy of adventure, romance, and magick in The Awakening.

In the realm of Talamh, a teenage warrior named Keegan emerges from a lake holding a sword - representing both power and the terrifying responsibility to protect the Fey. In another realm known as Philadelphia, a young woman has just discovered she possesses a treasure of her own....

When Breen Kelly was a girl, her father would tell her stories of magical places. Now she’s an anxious 20-something mired in student debt and working a job she hates. But one day she stumbles upon a shocking discovery: Her mother has been hiding an investment account in her name. It has been funded by her long-lost father - and it’s worth nearly four million dollars.

This newfound fortune would be life-changing for anyone. But little does Breen know that when she uses some of the money to journey to Ireland, it will unlock mysteries she couldn’t have imagined. Here, she will begin to understand why she kept seeing that silver-haired, elusive man, why she imagined his voice in her head saying, "Come home, Breen Siobhan. It’s time you came home." Why she dreamed of dragons. And where her true destiny lies - through a portal in Galway that takes her to a land of faeries and mermaids, to a man named Keegan, and to the courage in her own heart that will guide her through a powerful, dangerous destiny.....

The Awakening

I don’t usually read Nora’s books, it’s all about the Death series for me. And I knew Marco would grab our witches hand. Probably because of the way Roberts stressed ‘hands’ as she was writing. Doesn’t ruin things for me, just puts one more book in the “too easy, Dammit” list. But, thanks Ms Roberts I did enjoy your book, even if we have to wait soooooo long for the second one!

Amazing!!

As always Nora develops her characters so you feel that you know them and are experiencing everything they are. Sadly have to wait for the next book comes out in November, can’t wait! Loved the narration, great voices of the different characters both male and female. Definitely going to find other books she has done as well.
