From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a trilogy about the land we€re drawn to, the family we learn to cherish, and the people we long to love....
Dark Witch
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 horseman, 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....
Shadow Spell
With the legends and lore of Ireland running through his blood, falconer Connor O€Dwyer is proud to call County Mayo home. It€s where his sister, Branna, lives and works, where his cousin, Iona, has found true love, and where his childhood friends form a circle that can€t be broken.... A circle that is about to be stretched out of shape€"by a long-awaited kiss.
Meara Quinn is Branna€s best friend, a sister in all but blood. Her and Connor€s paths cross almost daily, as Connor takes tourists on hawk walks and Meara guides them on horseback across the lush countryside. She has the eyes of a gypsy and the body of a goddess€¦things Connor has always taken for granted€"until his brush with death propels them into a quick, hot tangle.
Plenty of women have found their way to Connor€s bed, but none to his heart until now. Frustratingly, Meara is okay with just the heat, afraid to lose herself€"and their friendship€"to something more. But soon, Connor will see the full force and fury of what runs in his blood. And he will need his family and friends around him when his past rolls in like the fog, threatening an end to all he loves....
Blood Magick
County Mayo is rich in the traditions of Ireland, legends that Branna O€Dwyer fully embraces in her life and in her work as the proprietor of The Dark Witch shop, which carries soaps, lotions, and candles for tourists, made with Branna€s special touch.
Branna€s strength and selflessness hold together a close circle of friends and family€"along with their horses and hawks and her beloved hound. But there€s a single missing link in the chain of her life: love.... She had it once€"for a moment€"with Finbar Burke, but a shared future is forbidden by history and blood. Which is why Fin has spent his life traveling the world to fill the abyss left in him by Branna, focusing on work rather than passion.
Branna and Fin€s relationship offers them both comfort and torment. And though they succumb to the heat between them, there can be no promises for tomorrow. A storm of shadows threatens everything that their circle holds dear. It will be Fin€s power, loyalty, and heart that will make all the difference in an age-old battle between the bonds that hold their friends together and the evil that has haunted their families for centuries.
