The Reading Spot

Morrigan's Cross By Nora Roberts

This the the first of her new trilogy called the Circle Trilogy. It is fantasy, which I think is awesome. This is my first "official" Nora Roberts book, I have only read her J.D. Robb books. I loved it. I am excited for the next book, which just came out but I have not gotten it yet.

In this world, the vampires are bad and the goddess Morrigan has picked six people ("the witch, the warrior, the scholar, the one of many forms, and the one you've lost" plus Hoyt, the sorceror) to stop them. The first book is bringing those six people together and sorceror, Hoyt Mac Cionaoith, is supposed to be their leader. Hoyt's brother was turned to a vampire in twelth century Ireland and Hoyt was determined to get him back, so Morrigan sent him into the future (21st century our present) and reunited him with his brother (still alive and still a vamp). It is then then that they start to meet the others from their group. The first being witch, Glenna.

As a storm rages, the tale of a powerful vampire's lust for destruction-and of the circle of six charged by the goddess Morrigan to stop her-begins. One of the chosen is a medieval sorcerer whose quest will take him through time-and into the arms of a woman courageous enough to link her destiny to his own.
