Publisher's Summary

"In charismatic fashion, Kreinik brings alive the world of Talamh and Breen Siobhan Kelly's journey." - AudioFile Magazine

A new epic of love and war among gods and humans, from Nora Roberts—the #1
New York Times bestselling author of The Awakening.

The world of magick and the world of man have long been estranged from one another. But some can walk between the two—including Breen Siobhan Kelly. She has just returned to Talamh, with her friend, Marco, who’s dazzled and disoriented by this realm—a place filled with dragons and faeries and mermaids (but no WiFi, to his chagrin). In Talamh, Breen is not the ordinary young schoolteacher he knew her as. Here she is learning to embrace the powers of her true identity. Marco is welcomed kindly by her people—and by Keegan, leader of the Fey. Keegan has trained Breen as a warrior, and his yearning for her has grown along with his admiration of her strength and skills.

But one member of Breen’s bloodline is not there to embrace her. Her grandfather, the outcast god Odran, plots to destroy Talamh—and now all must unite to defeat his dark forces. There will be losses and sorrows, betrayal and bloodshed. But through it, Breen Siobhan Kelly will take the next step on the journey to becoming all that she was born to be.

Loved it!

Can’t wait for the next book. What a ride!! She’s building the story arch to a massive crescendo. Both dramatically and romantically! The world building and supporting caricatures are emotive and tactile, fees like I’ve known them for years. Bullocks to them all, I say!

Much Enjoyed!

The story was great and I also appreciated its excellent performance very much. I am a Nora Roberts fan, and I thought this was one of her better ones. It explores what the many shades of love, good, evil, kindness and cruelty are, within the contrasts of reality and magic worlds. I like her portrayal of people with diverse backgrounds and views, with pithy dialog that sounds like real people and are well described. l also like the dog is named Bollocks, the name reminds me of Dumbass the dog in another series. I find it amusing it also means testicles and I suspect she knows it does too, and it is not a mistake as some readers assume, but meant to evoke the sort of childish silly humor I still enjoy as well. Well worth the read!

Loved this!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the audible version of the book. It’s the second of the series and it is a fabulous story. The audible performance was really great and I very much enjoyed listening to it. I am very much looking forward to the third and final book of the series. I highly recommend.

Hold Onto Your Seat

This book was a great second book in the series. True friendships and discovering oneself overlaid with a battle against good and evil will have you o. The edge of your seat.

WHOA

I was not expecting these events to unfold. I am enjoying this trilogy. The characters are on point and this makes it easy to imagine locations as well as the individuals themselves.

Loved the story

I haven’t read Nora Roberts books in years. I must say her writing has evolved and I truly enjoyed the story. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Well needed break from reality!

What a fabulous story to take a break and sink into a magical story telling adventure- Its a signature Nora Roberts masterpiece! The only hope is that its not just a trilogy! This story deserves at least 4 or 5! 🙂
