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.....

Enjoyed

I enjoyed this book very much. The narrator was very good. She absolutely had the voice for each of the characters. I will probably listen to this book again.

Can hardly wait for the next book. Pre-order done

Excellent story telling. Nora Robert's brings the Fae world to life. Set in Ireland were mystical things are rumored to happen.

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.

pretty good

Nora Roberts does a great job creating a brand new world and I liked all of the supporting characters. but I found I disliked the main character it made it hard to get through some of the story. I enjoyed the Irish accents of the storyteller.

The Awakening

A very descriptive book, and though Fantasy is not my favourite genre, I enjoyed it very much. I liked it so much that I didn’t want it to end.
