About this listen

Nora Roberts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the epic Year One returns with Of Blood and Bone, a new tale of terror and magic in a brand new world.

They look like an everyday family living an ordinary life. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed.

Fallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before - the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted - and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden.

In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries. She will learn the old ways of healing; study and spar; encounter faeries and elves and shifters; and find powers within herself she never imagined. And when the time is right, she will take up the sword, and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be, the world outside will never be whole again.

Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day


When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

Thoroughly Enjoyed It

Nora Roberts does it again, another fascinating and twisted story with this sequel. Although I did enjoy it and was captivated by the characters and story, I found it wasn’t as good as the first, Year One.

Really Enjoyed!

Year One and this one are my first audio book experiences. I love Nora Roberts work from previous books. I felt that the narrator did an excellent job of changing things up as the characters changed. Loved the story line and am now waiting for book three.

Great Part 2 to The Chronicle's of the One!

Absolutely loving this Trilogy so far !
It's sucked me in, and has become the most favorite part of my day.
I completely loved Malik's training of Falon, and couldn't wait for Duncan and Falon to finally meet!
I didn't see Petra being a "Falon" either , totally caught me off guard there!
Oh and again: Beautifully Narrated * Kudos.
Cant Wait for the Third Part to be released!
already on Pre-Order*

An great second instalment

I’ve been anticipating this book for a year now and it didn’t disappoint. Roberts did a great job developing the characters, something that trilogies allow for. Life in the post-doom world was well established.
I look forward to reading the final instalment. Julia Whelan’s narration was well performed and was a good part of my enjoyment of the story. Overall a great read.

I can't wait for the next one!

I am really enjoying this series. I like the fact that islets set in today's time, and to see how that plays out is cool. It's not necessarily the most intriguing story I've ever read, but I find myself NEEDING to know what happens next and camt stop listening!

Loved it!

After completing Year One, Nora Roberts had me primed for book two, Of Blood and Bone, in her Chronicles of The One series. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.

I’ll do my best to write this review, but this is not the type of series where you could jump in anywhere along the way. Roberts is building off of the world she masterfully created in Year One. At the same time, she leaves the necessary, gentle reminders of what happened in the first book, there is a full year between the release dates, and I cannot be expected to remember every detail.

Of Blood and Bone jumps a few years into the future since the events of Year One. The story is more about the children, while the adults are still present and active. I connected easily to the new characters and invested myself in their lives. This is a story where the good guys are very, very good and the bad guys are very, very bad, and sometimes well camouflaged.

I decided to use my monthly Audible credit for this book. When I wasn’t listening to Julia Whelan’s narration, I was thinking about the story and this post-apocalyptic world that Roberts created. When I was listening to it, I wanted the story to go on and on. I came to appreciate Whelan’s skill as a narrator, each character had a unique tone to their voice that she maintained consistent throughout.

The best part of finding a series that you love as a reader is that you have more to look forward to. The best part of the series being a trilogy is the tension that you feel waiting for the third book. The end is in sight, but you have to wait for it; November 26th and The Rise of Magicks is circled on my calendar.

A Must Read!!

I've enjoyed the 1st two novels to this series immensely. Nora Roberts does not disappoint!!
The narrator voice is so easy & pleasant to listen to. I'm now ready to purchase the final book to this series & I must say, if you haven't read or listened to them yet - YOU MUST!!
