About this listen

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.....

The Awakening

Fantastic start to a new NR trilogy. Love the characters and the story. Nora never disappoints and has been my favorite author for many years. Narration is wonderful too. It doesn't matter how great a story is if the narrator's voice doesn't work. LOVE IT ALL!

Worth the wait

I was waiting for this book to come out. But in all honesty I should have waited till the full series was out. Why? Because it is going to kill me to have to wait for the next books to come out!
Great book, fantastic narration a little predictable but entertaining.

A treat for the imagination!

Very different from the Nora Roberts I have read for years. I really thought this was a spectacular read! Characters seemed so alive; descriptions of time and place were so believable. She has a real knack for wonderful storytelling and it makes The Awakening thoroughly enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequels. If you like a bit of magic, a bit of fantasy, some love and feeling for family, THIS is the book for you!!

I love it when Nora writes about Ireland & Magic!

I have read other books Nora has written about Ireland and magic. I loved those and this one did not disappoint. I look forward to the sequels. The narrator is excellent. Highly recommended.

Great story and narration!

Love Nora Robert's Irish stories,, can't wait for the next book. Great job Barrie, each caricature had their own American or Irish accent, you made a great story even better.
