About this listen

The first in a trilogy from Sunday Times bestseller Nora Roberts, The Awakening is a story of adventure, magic and finding your home.

Mists, shimmering silver fingers, rose over the pale green water of the lake. They twined and twisted toward a sky quietly gray, while in the east, over the hills, a pink blush waited, like a held breath, to waken.

Breen Kelly had always been a rule follower. So, when her father left when she was twelve years old, promising to return, she waited. Now, more than a decade later, she's working at a job she hates and is tired of the life that playing by the rules has dealt her. It's time to make a change.

Breen makes a leap into the unknown with a summer trip to Ireland - her father's homeland. Little does she know how much of a leap until a walk in the woods leads her through a portal into another world - Talamh - where Breen will find magic, family and a destiny she could never have dreamed of.

Having read the Dark Witch Trilogy by Nora Roberts, I was greedy for more. I was caught by the characters instantly and loved the lead up to what this trilogy was going to be about. The narrator was superb, not only in the way she told the story but also her ability to switch from character to character and accent to accent, she had a wonderful command of it all. It’s a great plot and once finished I went straight to the next book.

Great story and superb narration.

As always Nora Roberts captures your imagination in the first chapter and you just want to comfort Breen right away.
l went through the porthole with her description every time and looked forward to seeing everything on the other side.

Amazing

The start of another Nora Roberts Irish trilogy.

If you like the fae, witches and evil villains, this is for you.

I can't wait for 'The Becoming'.

Ireland and magic. What's not to love?

I throughly enjoyed this books and almost raced through it. My only disappointment is that book 2 isn’t out yet and won’t be until October 2021. It’s been left in such suspense and I would have easily gone straight onto the second without a stop or break in between. I feel abit lost now it’s finished.

Loved this book, but.....

I loved this story and can't wait for the next on to come out. Anything Nora Roberts writes about Ireland and the other world and magic is worth reading.

Lovely Story

I am in love with Breen and Marco and Keegan and Maureena and everyone in this book. All characters are so well created that I am interested in all their lives.
I really appreciated the evolution of Breen from insecure to strong and resilient and a bit cheeky as well.
Unexpected bonus - some romance 😁

Great story and introduction to the series
