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.....

Absolutely Amazing

In my honest opinion possible the best thing Nora Roberts has ever written! I found it extremely engaging, very well written, exciting, and unbearable to stop listening to I could picture everything in my mind. The narration of this book was impeccable I don’t have enough words to completely go on about what this book book made me feel I pray to God that there is a sequel

Really enjoyed this novel and adventure

It kept me wanting to continue to listen even though I work during the day. I listened whenever I had available time (to and from work in the car and evenings). Sadly, I’ll have to try and wait patiently for the next novel to see what happens next.

Loved everything about it!

Had me hooked from the very beginning. The storyline is strong, and the characters are simply amazing! I wasn't ready for it to end... and now, we wait for the next installment.
If you liked her other books (such as the Year One series), you NEED to give this a read/listen.
