Publisher Comments:

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.

Review:

"Romance institution Roberts dives into her first paranormal series with the first book in the Circle Trilogy. In 12th-century Ireland, sorcerer Hoyt Mac Cionaoith does battle with a centuries-old vampire named Lilith, who has turned Hoyt's twin brother, Cian, into a fellow bloodsucker. Unable to defeat her, Hoyt is visited by the goddess of battle, Morrigan, who charges him with the task of leading a battle, 'the greatest ever waged,' against Lilith and her demons. Hoyt must gather five others to fight alongside him: 'the witch, the warrior, the scholar, the one of many forms, and the one you've lost.' He travels in time to present-day New York, where he encounters his vampire brother, Cian, and Glenna, a beautiful red-haired witch. Two more warriors, Moira and Larkin, join them back in the Mac Cionaoith ancestral home. Romance ignites between Hoyt and Glenna as enemies emerge from the shadows, and the 'circle of six' prepare for the big showdown with Lilith. 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. (Sept.)"

Review:

"Humorous, violent, and passionate." Library Journal

I regret that '5' is the highest rating I can give! My apologies to Ms. Roberts - Nora, Girlfriend - I admit I had doubts regarding your ability to write a 'genuine' vampire book. I was wrong. You had me at 'Chapter 1'. I am devouring the second book - 'Dance of the Gods'. 'Morrigan's Cross' ended much too quickly for me, I am SO glad I had the second book already so I can continue to follow the hair-raising journey of our main characters as they battle the rising evil. Forget 'Interview with the Vampire' - there's a whole new STAR in vampire lore!

Nora Roberts makes a break from her more traditional romances, creating an romantic page-turner which can best be described as 'Anne Rice meets Buffy'. Full of vampires and sorcery. this series is probably most suited to adult fantasy readers.
