About this listen

 Standing on the cliffs of 12th-century Ireland following the disappearance of his twin, Hoyt Mac Cionaoith is visited by the goddess Morrigan and is charged with the ultimate of tasks: saving his and all future worlds.

His enemy, the beautiful but deadly vampire queen Lilith, has had over 2,000 years of experience in cruelly killing and changing humans into one of her own - including Hoyt's brother, Cian.

Now, Hoyt, a sorcerer, must travel across the world and through time to find and train the five others Morrigan has prophesized will join him as a circle and do battle against Lilith's army of vampires on Samhain in the land of Geall.

But just who is the witch, the shape-changer, the scholar, the warrior and the vampire? How will this unlikely band of six prepare and become one with less than three months until the possible end of the world?

Following the arrival of Glenna Ward - a modern day witch with a knack for making her own kind of magic, the kind that makes his heart melt - Hoyt must find the strength to save the world, and a love that knows no bounds.

Complete the circle: listen to all three books in Nora Roberts' Circle Trilogy, including Book 2, Dance of the Gods, and Book 3, Valley of Silence.©2006 Nora Roberts (P)2006 Brilliance Audio Fantasy Fiction Magic Romance Paranormal Magic Users Heartfelt Witchcraft

Critic reviews

"This well-plotted, finely detailed paranormal adventure is driven by richly developed characters, making it a cut above others in this subgenre, and among Roberts's best." ( Publishers Weekly)

I usually don’t like stories about vampires but Nora has a way with storytelling that has me gripped from beginning to end and even with vampires didn’t disappoint at all and I enjoyed it the twists and turns throughout were exciting and scary and beautiful all at once.

The whole plot of the book.

My Mum has been urging me to give NORA Roberts a try for years and I finally succumbed. Morrigan's Cross is the first of the Circle Trilogy. The evil vampire Lillith is leading her army to conqure the human world and enslave human kind and six heros must lead the resistance to stop her. Five extraordinary people and their vampire trainer come together and so the circle is born. This is fantasy at its finest. The style is highly readable and the characterisation is superb. The characters are wonderfully drawn and both likeable and deeply complex. This is as much a saga of love and friendship as it is good verses evil, with a good dose of magic and monsters thrown in. I just fell in love with this book and its sequels and I can't recommend them highly enough.

My bestbuy this year

I understand that some of the characters are from Ireland but this narrator took it too far. Hoyt sounded angry ALL the time, Cian seemed quite effeminate...and I'm not even going to comment on the other voices as dreadful suffices. I loved the story when read it years ago and thought I'd use up one of my credits to listen to this whilst I work...not going to bother with getting the other 2 books on audible (have them purchased on kindle and in paperback!)...I'd recommend the story just not the audible! A lot of Nora's work has similar themes so don't expect this to be completely different but the storytelling is, as always, something to lose yourself in...gave the story 5* but 3* overall as had to give 1* for performance...not sure 0* is an option???

Very poor narrator

Although I love Nora Roberts, I only got as far as book one.
The storyline (for me) was too reminiscent of Guardians Trilogy, which I had read only 5 months earlier. Maybe in the future I will complete this particular trilogy.
