Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling 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 twentysomething 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…

I would follow this narrator anywhere. She is truly outstanding. I have recommended her to friends. Truly a gift to all listeners!

The narrator is excellent. I expected to love a Romantasy by Nora Roberts, but both the fantasy and romance aspects are sorely lacking. It’s like a washed out reskin of some of Roberts’s better books and series.

Great voices, accents help identify the people. wonderful descriptions of the landscape. Good main character building BUT 5 hours in and that ALL it has been! I hope it will pick up but after 5 hours all that's happened is some flowers bloomed and you learn how the main character thinks, and what ireland looks like. Thats it. i'm trying to hold out hoping something, anything will happen but it's tough.

It has a good story. There are several ideas and language I’m not thrilled with but the ending had me wanting to know more about this new world. I will check out the second book.

I absolutely love the story, when I read the description I was a little skeptical because I am not a big fan of Apocalypse themes and listening to the first few chapters I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I have. Well written and the narrator did a fabulous job. I encourage you to listen to this audiobook. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.

I loved the story. I wanted to just keep listening. Great Character development so that you could follow who were too which other books I can’t say the same thing about. It was an a lot of six scenes in it which I also like. Very disappointed to find out that book number two doesn’t come out until late November. Are usually don’t give us a five star but this one I did

Love Norah Roberts' fantasy work! The narrator was really great, although if you know Irish accents well, you might disagree. She sounded just fine to me. Story is captivating, and I enjoy her phrasing. Cliff-hanger ending makes me want to pull my hair out in frustration! Next book not due until end of 2021! How can I wait so long to find out what happens?

Cannot wait for the next in the trilogy! N. Robert’s describes perfectly the different worlds while enrapturing you in the story. I love how she leads into the next book and leaves you wanting to binge read the trilogy. When thinking back about the story, I felt like I had watched a movie rather than read a book.
