Nora Roberts is a well-known author who has captivated readers for years with her captivating storytelling and vibrant characters. One of her most popular series is the witch saga, a collection of novels that delves into the world of magic and witchcraft. In this saga, Roberts introduces readers to a world where witches exist alongside humans, wielding powers and casting spells. The main characters in the series are often strong, independent women who discover their magical abilities and learn to navigate the intricacies of the supernatural world. The witch saga is not just about magic, though. It is a story of love, friendship, and personal growth.
What Breen learns, and the extended family and friends that she meets, shakes her to her core. In this first book in the series, she must overcome her feelings of insecurity and failure that had been drilled into her for decades, and she must embrace her newfound strength, her ability to write, and her empathy for living animals and plants.
Roberts addresses the fickle nature of man and religion when she describes a past group, the Pious, who were persecuted but also did some persecuting of their own. With her newfound wealth, Breen plans a trip to Ireland over the summer, and after giving notice at her school, she and Marco fly first class to Ireland.
It is a story of love, friendship, and personal growth. The characters face challenges and overcome obstacles as they form deep connections with one another and learn important life lessons. Throughout the series, Roberts weaves together romance, mystery, and adventure, creating a truly captivating reading experience.
Dark Witch (The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy #1) (Paperback)
With indifferent parents, Iona Sheehan grew up craving devotion and acceptance. From her maternal grandmother, she learned where to find both: a land of lush forests, dazzling lakes, and centuries-old legends.
Ireland. County Mayo, to be exact. Where her ancestors’ blood and magic have flowed through generations—and where her destiny awaits.
Iona arrives in Ireland with nothing but her Nan’s directions, an unfailingly optimistic attitude, and an innate talent with horses. Not far from the luxurious castle where she is spending a week, she finds her cousins, Branna and Connor O’Dwyer. And since family is family, they invite her into their home and their lives. When Iona lands a job at the local stables, she meets the owner, Boyle McGrath. Cowboy, pirate, wild tribal horsemen, he’s three of her biggest fantasy weaknesses all in one big, bold package.
Iona realizes that here she can make a home for herself—and live her life as she wants, even if that means falling head over heels for Boyle. But nothing is as it seems. An ancient evil has wound its way around Iona’s family tree and must be defeated. Family and friends will fight with each other and for each other to keep the promise of hope—and love—alive…
