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…

Book One of The Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy
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 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…

The Nora Roberts trilogies are all pretty formulaic, but there's comfort there. The characters are likeable, the situations are predictable and there are typically happy endings. It's comfort reading, completely

I read all the way into 50% and then I was forcing myself. Nothing interesting happened after the first 3 chapters. So many dinners, lunches, walks in forests, and the spooky guy coming out to attack for 1 paragraph.

This is my first Nora Roberts book and I can tell its very well written but its juvenile and boring, the story shouldve just taken place in the past and skipped all this future stuff. I was very intrigued by Sosrcha and her children, but as I went along the slow pacing of the book drove me nuts because nothing happens. I skimmed 3 chapters and they were still talking about lunches dinners, Boyle and having sex. It was off-putting and forced. I will try a different series.
