STARS OF FORTUNE is Book 1 in Nora Roberts' new series The
Guardians Trilogy. Fans of Nora Roberts' previous magick trilogies
such as Sign of Seven, The Cousins O'Dwyer, or The Key
Trilogy will find this book to be familiar ground. Roberts delivers a tried and
true rendition in this book about the first of the three couples to meet and fall in
love while battling a supernatural evil. We meet all three couples in Book 1, but
STARS OF FORTUNE's romance centers on Sasha and Bran.
Sasha Riggs is an artist who is a reluctant seer. Haunted by visions
and nightmares, she travels by herself to the Greek island of Corfu, where
she quickly meets the three unknown men and two other women that she
has been dreaming about for months. Bran Killian is a magician who
quickly recognizes that Sasha is his heartmate. Bran will stand firm in his
immense power and love to protect Sasha as they battle with the four
others to defeat the savage Nerezza, a dark supernatural being who
opposes the six.
Together, the six must discover how to trust each other with precious
secrets in order to come together as a team to defeat evil. A seer, a
magician, an archaeologist, a wanderer, a fighter, and a loner working
together. Kind of sounds like the start of a "walk into a bar" kind of joke,
right? But the six have some crazy chemistry as they figure out how to
discover the first of three stars hidden by olden day goddesses of the moon
and do battle to save it from the evil that menaces it and them. STARS OF
FORTUNE is classic Nora Roberts, with a few interesting twists thrown in.
To celebrate the rise of their new queen, three goddesses
of the moon created three stars, one of fire, one of ice,
one of water. But then they fell from the sky, putting the
fate of all worlds in danger. And now three women and three
men join forces to pick up the pieces…
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 all
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…
I haven't read the other magical books by Nora Roberts, but I did like the Born In series, which had magical elements. Love the cover on this book, too! Thanks for the review! (Sharlene Wegner 9:28pm November 12, 2015)
