is a weekly event that was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This meme is a place that spotlights upcoming releases that we´re eagerly anticipating with pure joy. There are a lot of new books coming out each year and some of them catch my attention and will get a spotlight in my Waiting on Wednesday post. While some of them will finally end up here at my place, others won´t. I am joining Tressa at Wishful Endings and her meme Can´t-Wait Wednesday.
For the first time in years, I am about two books behind when it comes to the authors' fantasy books. The reason why is probably the fact that I am not as thrilled about those novels as I am when I read one of her “normal” romance books. She has changed her style a bit when she writes in the fantasy genre. Her newer books sound different from those she wrote some years back where some Irish magic was between the pages. And yet I want to read this novel and can´t wait to get my hands on it. Crazy, huh?

The world of magick and the world of man have long been estranged from one another. But some can walk between the two - including Breen Siobhan Kelly. She has just returned to Talamh, with her friend, Marco, who's dazzled and disoriented by this realm - a place filled with dragons and faeries and mermaids (but no WiFi, to his chagrin). In Talamh, Breen is not the ordinary young schoolteacher he knew her as. Here she is learning to embrace the powers of her true identity. Marco is welcomed kindly by her people - and by Keegan, leader of the Fey. Keegan has trained Breen as a warrior, and his yearning for her has grown along with his admiration of her strength and skills. But one member of Breen's bloodline is not there to embrace her. Her grandfather, the outcast god Odran, plots to destroy Talamh - and now all must unite to defeat his dark forces. There will be losses and sorrows, betrayal, and bloodshed. But through it, Breen Siobhan Kelly will take the next step on the journey to becoming all that she was born to be.

ReplyDeleteYes, she does *smile*
DeleteFor some reason I never realized Nora Roberts wrote magical type stories- for the longest time I thought she was a romance writer only, not sure why!
ReplyDeleteHer fantasy is mixed with romance. Not sure, but I think her first pure fantasy came out about ten-fifteen years ago, although I wouldn´t bet on my guess *smile*
