Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestselling 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 twentysomething 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…

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Breen Kelly is unlocking her power—and that’s not a self-help metaphor! Nora Roberts’ twentysomething heroine, a teacher grappling with student loans and her domineering mother, discovers that her long-absent father has left her a trust worth over $4 million…and that’s just the beginning. During a celebratory trip to Ireland, Breen walks straight into a portal to an alternate dimension, where she learns about her true heritage and her destiny in the mystic arts. Roberts strikes a perfect balance in the first book of her Dragon Heart Legacy series, seamlessly transitioning us from Breen’s real-world problems to the fantastical challenges she faces in this strange new fairyland as she learns to trust and wield her thrilling new powers. With a marked talent for accents, narrator Barrie Kreinik transports us to the Emerald Isle and pulls us into the book’s allusions to Irish mythology. Breen’s quest is so spellbinding that it’s hard to bid her farewell—even if it’s only until book two.
Customer Reviews
Slow beginning, ends with wow and dang!!
The main character thinks to much and does do much for herself. Which was so annoying and madding. At first I couldn’t get with the characters of the story but then it grew. It became interesting with joy and peace. Then it flips to great when she starts finding herself in a new world. She still make me mad on how she overthinks.
Mesmerizing and magical!
The story pulled me in and mesmerized me with the characters, the magical world and plot! I can hardly wait till book #2
Ok
The build up of the characters seemed to drag. The end of the book was the best part no surprise. The second book is likely going to be amazing in comparison to the slow politically way to trendy first book.
