Publisher's Summary

Nora Roberts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the epic Year One returns with Of Blood and Bone, a new tale of terror and magic in a brand new world.

They look like an everyday family living an ordinary life. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed.

Fallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before - the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted - and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden.

In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries. She will learn the old ways of healing; study and spar; encounter faeries and elves and shifters; and find powers within herself she never imagined. And when the time is right, she will take up the sword, and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be, the world outside will never be whole again.

Better than book 1

First book (Year One) was an enjoyable story but this was better. It kept moving at a good pace and there was not a dull moment. The development of characters is excellent and perfect book for anyone who like fantasy adventures.

Listen to this series if you love magic & fantasy

Loved book one and was worried when book two jumped so many years but loved this one as well. Typical Nora Roberts, her words bringing characters and surroundings to life. Keen for the next instalment. Julia Whelan is an excellent narrator. Highly recommended

good sequel

I love this performance, it's so easy to listen to. As a sequel it's great. You could almost read them independently of each other.

Nora Roberts isn’t my usual type of author but I love this series!

This trilogy is intriguing with great character development and brilliantly performed by the narrator. I’d love to see a prequel series about Malik and the journey towards The One

Great plot. Fantastic narration. Can’t wait for book 3.

Book 2 of this trilogy. Wow. I’m totally hooked. Complete escapism with a touch of doomsday reality.
