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.....

Story
It began on New Year’s Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.

It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at the video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived. The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever.

Good but also annoying
It’s good and bad and yes, I read the whole trilogy. What annoys me is Keegan and how he treats the MC he’s such a douche! And she’s fine with it! Also the usage of words like “women” and “girl”, “my special girl” barf! Keegan is so degrading and honestly I didn’t buy their relationship. If you ignored all that (which was hard). That plot was good and I enjoyed the storyline, I loved the Irish references. The ending in the the series was very disappointing and abrupt. So much lead up for five seconds at the end. I would give the whole trilogy a 3.5 if I could. The narrator was amazing though! I enjoyed her performance immensely.

Wonderful
I’m glad I discovered this series after all 3 instalments had been written because it would have been had to wait for the next. I’m usually not a fan of the fantastical but I enjoy Nora Roberts so I thought I’d give this a chance. I was enthralled from the beginning and found the narrator wonderful with her various voices and accents.
