About this listen

FIRST IN THE GUARDIANS TRILOGY

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a trilogy about three women and three men who join forces to solve an ancient mystery through the power of timeless love…

Sasha Riggs is a reclusive artist, haunted by dreams and nightmares that she turns into extraordinary paintings. Her visions lead her to the Greek island of Corfu, where five others have been lured to seek the fire star. Sasha recognizes them, because she has drawn them: a magician, an archaeologist, a wanderer, a fighter, a loner. All on a quest. All with secrets.

Sasha is the one who holds them together - the seer. And in the magician, Bran Killian, she sees a man of immense power and compassion. As Sasha struggles with her rare ability, Bran is there to support her, challenge her, and believe in her.

But Sasha and Bran are just two of the six. And they must all work together as a team to find the fire star in a cradle of land beneath the sea. Over their every attempt at trust, unity, and love, a dark threat looms. And it seeks to corrupt everything that stands in its way of possessing the stars....

Nice relaxing story

A good listen - pretty standard romance. Amazingly narrated. Really gives each character their own flare and personality.

Entertaining very typical Nora Roberts

Entertaining, suspenseful. Decent fantasy read but Robert's is becoming formulaic like Eddings. Still love her though.

All of the mythical hero's you could ever want in one book

Loved listening to this first book. I found it difficult listening to the stop / start narrator but understand it needed to be that way so we didn't mixed up the characters, by the end of the book I didn't even notice. Great story, I'm about to order books 2 & 3. Bring on the great imaginings of Nora Roberts.

Expansion on a fairy tale

Certainly good for the age group the book is aimed at.
Nora Roberts writes so well, I really don’t have any problems listening to her books.
There is always drama and twists to the plot to keep the reader interested.

Love the story, but the accent...

I enjoy a good Nora Roberts novel and this one does not disappoint. Unfortunately, the Irish accent for one character is annoyingly and off putting'ly poor. It sounds half Australian in places. Not bad enough that I won't listen to the rest of the trilogy though.

So much potential

Liked the idea but the plot holes drove me nuts. Instant love with no chemistry ... sigh... so many parts of the story not explored.
