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.

Such wonderfully diverse and inclusive characters. I’ve read them twice and super sad they are over.

Absolutely loved this story - as usual with Nora Robert’s, the characters draw you in until they feel like close friends. The world built is a fantastic place, my only complaint is that I now have to wait for the next one.

Great story

Loved loved this story, romance, adventure, fairies, dragons, all my favourite things wrapped up. A slightly slow start, but I'm left panting for the next book. Write Nora, write your little heart out, I'm dying here
