Publisher's Summary

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.

Love it

I loved the first book, the 2nd was a bit slower but still a great listen. More teen young adult type of book but I enjoy the characters and the story line.

excellent series! very well narrated.

This is a very different style than Nora's other work, and would appeal to anyone who enjoys post apocalyptic fiction. less romance than I'd expect out of a romance author, however it it woven into the story just enough to create a healthy tension for the next book! kudos.

Intense, beautiful, & terrible.

So many voices! It was wonderful to listen to, and impressive. All of the voices brought this story to life, made me laugh, and brought tears to my eyes. I can't wait to listen to the next book.

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*
