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.....

When I purchased “The Awakening” I was concerned that it might be a rewrite of “The One”. I’m glad to say this is a fresh and startling new vision. I love the complexity, the relationships, and the many levels of love. I can’t wait for the next installment.

So, I cried alot. This whole book is world building and introducing characters. yeah there is a "evil, magical" guy 😈 that sends minions to do his dirty work The romance is simmering, not full fledge heat yet. I'm more worried about Marco. There is a cliffhanger to the next book and now I wonder if I should wait till the 3rd book is out before I start on the 2nd.

Nora is so good at creating new worlds that she describes in such detail as so believable. She makes her characters seem so realistic that you feel like you know them. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

I Love this new series!

Nora had gotten better and better with her Irish lore and legends. The creating of complicated characters and their developments. The interaction is of growth and compromises; yet none of the compromises are detrimental. Thank you Nora.

Great story as usual
