The Awakening

**The Awakening by Nora Roberts** is a spellbinding blend of fantasy romance and portal fantasy, perfect when you want adventure, heart, and a heroine finding her feet at last.

Breen Kelly has spent her life doing what’s expected—waiting for a father who promised he’d return, sticking with the sensible choices, and tolerating a job that drains the colour out of her days. When she finally decides to change course, a summer trip to Ireland—her father’s homeland—feels like a fresh start. But a walk in the woods shifts everything, opening the way to Talamh: a parallel world threaded with magic, family ties, and an unsettling sense that Breen has arrived for a reason.

Ideal for readers who love Irish settings, strong character-driven fantasy, and Nora Roberts’ immersive storytelling.

Step through the mist and discover where Breen’s new life begins.
