Nora Roberts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the epic Year One returns with Of Blood and Bone, a new tale of terror and magick in a brand new world. They look like an everyday family living an ordinary life. But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed. Fallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world … Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before–the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions. Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted–and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden.
In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries. She will learn the old ways of healing; study and spar; encounter faeries and elves and shifters; and find powers within herself she never imagined. And when the time is right, she will take up the sword, and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be, the world outside will never be whole again.

My only complaint is that I have to wait a year for the next book in the series! Very, very good, I couldn’t put it down. I am in awe of writers and what comes out of their minds to be put into writing, along with the massive amount of research they do. That being said, no one can compare to Nora Roberts! She is truly talented and one-of-a kind, the best. Looking forward to the next book!
A wild ride! Loved the second in this series and can’t wait for the third!
This world continues to surprise and impress. Love the way characters have to make moral decisions that are so important in today’s world.
Love, love, love this series. The meld of the fantastical with the real is seamless, the family-and-friends interactions heartfelt. Can’t wait for the next!!
Absolutely Amazing… cannot wait for the 3rd in the series!
The best series ever and the third book isn’t out until December of 2019! It is a must read if you love fantasy writing!
This is the second in The Chronicles of The One series. The story continues with Max and Lana’s daughter growing into her powers and her destiny. Through training and determination, she continues the fight between light and dark. New characters to the series is the children of the New Hope founders. Each coming into their own powers.
Can’t wait for the next one
Always entertaining
Not my favorite genre, but enjoy Nora Roberts. It was a good book.
Great second entry to the Chronicle of the One. An interesting take on seeing the world after a cataclysmic event and how the US and its people would survive. The touch of magic and inclusion of all types of living beings gives it a whimsical leaning but the correlation between the types of people in the world today is interesting.
I started the year with The One and read Of Blood and Bone as one of my last. This book was everything. I loved this and now the wait begins for the last book. So many emotions. So much hope. This was a great read.
Kind of slow starting but overall it was a pleasure to read. Nora Roberts is an excellent author.
Love all of Nora Roberts books. Was not sure that I would like this series but it has been very entertaining.
Very good read.
A great follow up to Year One! It wasn’t as fast paced as the first book but built the world and set the stage for the final chapter.
This is the second of Nora Robert’s newest trilogy. It is quite different, even from some of her other stories, but it is just as gripping and keeps you turning the page. I can’t wait for the third part to come out.
Absolutely loved this second installment in the series!!! Can’t wait for the third book!!! Another excellent read from the amazing Nora Roberts!!!
I really liked the first one of this series and the second one was just as good. Can’t wait for the last one to come out so I know how it ends!
The first book in this series reduced me to tears and an aching heart; the second, had me gasping in surprise, holding my breath and even cheering as the story of The One unfolds. Ms. Roberts’ characters have always charmed me – I’d love to go to dinner or have a beer with any of ’em – and this book, despite its dark premise, offers the same assortment of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. This is yet another example of why Ms. Roberts has always been my number one favorite author, and will continue to be so. Now all I have to do is wait for Book Three!!!
