The Choice is the conclusion of the epic Dragon Heart Legacy trilogy from Nora Roberts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Awakening and The Becoming.
Talamh is a land of green hills, high mountains, deep forests, and seas, where magicks thrive. But portals allow for passage in and out—and ultimately, each must choose their place, and choose between good and evil, war and peace, life and death…
Breen Siobhan Kelly grew up in the world of Man and was once unaware of her true nature. Now she is in Talamh, trying to heal after a terrible battle and heartbreaking losses. Her grandfather, the dark god Odran, has been defeated in his attempt to rule over Talamh, and over Breen—for now.
With the enemy cast out and the portal sealed, this is a time to rest and to prepare. Breen spreads her wings and realizes a power she’s never experienced before. It’s also a time for celebrations—of her first Christmas in both Talamh and Ireland, of solstice and weddings and births—and daring to find joy again in the wake of sorrow. She rededicates herself to writing her stories, and when his duties as taoiseach permit, she is together with Keegan, who has trained her as a warrior and whom she has grown to love.
It’s Keegan who’s at her side when the enemy’s witches, traitorous and power-mad, appear to her in her sleep, practicing black magick, sacrificing the innocent, and plotting a brutal destruction for Breen. And soon, united with him and with all of Talamh, she will seek out those in desperate need of rescue, and confront the darkness with every weapon she has: her sword, her magicks—and her courage…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Roberts expertly weaves threads from the previous two books of her Dragon Heart Legacy series into an epic climax and gratifying grand finale (following The Becoming). Life continues in the magical world of Talamh in the aftermath of the Battle of the Dark Portal: fallen loved ones are honored, couples wed, babies are born, and the wheel of the year turns. But the shadow of the evil god Odran, who hopes to crush Talamh and rule all the worlds, still looms, and series protagonist Breen and her found family prepare for a final confrontation between the forces of light and darkness. The world and characters are comfortably established by this point, allowing readers to be swept away by waves of events as the battle intensifies. Though the broad outcomes are easily anticipated, Roberts raises the stakes enough to keep readers guessing from moment to moment. Add in a little romance to round out the tale, and the result is a rewarding outing for old and new fans alike.

Short Romance Fury
I gave four stars instead of five based on how I conscience the storyline. The book was a series of three and my first for Nora Roberts, worthy of the five stars. I think the embraced content made way from learning Talamh, fantasy that was true for the character's after its hard sought ordeal. I liked each part, the pictures given to know how vast one can see a beginning with such lane of indirect living space, sort of scenario to exist coherent to the bounds of the techniques need and the open journey for the Dragon summon pertinent in their Taoseach embargo. What I didn't feel was a take, the vision of recite for the posit that expand as reader input. I read often and sometimes my expectation is out of bound for something already done. My closing regard is a thinking thanks for now in the post effect that I learned; middle aged people can truly learn protected arts in weaponry such as defense for land, country, and fantasy reality. A big quoth; to becoming with awakening, and have choice in legacy.
Meh
I finished the book out, even though the ending was predictable. I did not love the ending, it seemed too easy. This series overall was a bit lack luster and a little bit too “you’re so good” about everything. The story as a whole was good, but it was a book I read to finish the series. I was able to put down, it was not a story where I was super captivated.
