I know, I know, you’ve been waiting to learn what happens next in The Chronicles of The One. I’m so happy to share with you the excerpt from Of Blood & Bone.
Here’s the jacket copy:
An epic of hope and horror, chaos and magic, and a journey that will unite a desperate group of people to fight the battle of their lives.
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 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.
The excerpt won’t answer all your questions but should answer some.
Of Blood & Bone is out December 4. Your first look is here.

It’s going to be epic !
Oh this is just wonderful!!! It answered the most important questions I had at the end of Year One!!! Yeah!!! I am thinking I can re read Year One over Thanksgiving break then be all ready for Of Blood & Bone. I thought I might try to wait until I have book 3 next year but now that I have read this little bit there is no way I can wait, I also think it was just so wonderful to be able to get Year One for my kindle for only 2.99 yesterday!! Cone on Dec. 4th!!!
I am with you..a re-read before the new release..
I always think I am going to wait and read the whole series and then, nope gotta read it NOW!
I’ll read part one again, a few days before part 2 comes out. I enjoyed it so much, I’ve just got a feeling that part 2 is going to be fabulous! Love me some NR !

Can’t wait to get this book. Absolutely loved the first one. Keep them coming Nora!
Just bought Book One yesterday. So excited to read it but I have to finish The Collector first! You are amazing Nora.
I can’t wait for the book to come out! Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks, but I will wait for the book.
Amazing. Can’t wait for the rest of it! Nora just rocks!
Cannot wait. It’s so exciting Another book to cherish into my own NR library.
Simply cannot wait for this book!! Year One was awesome!! My son buys them for me for my birthday every year as it is close to the release date.
That’s so nice of him! LOL my children and even my grandchildren know of my Nora Roberts/ JD Robb addiction. They scan the thrift shops for me too! Lol. You have trained your son up in the way he should go! Good job! Lol lol
It’s a known thing around our little town that there are 3 of us who collect! We are crazy old ladies who are BOOK WORMS! TOTAL FANS! LOL
I loved loved book one of this series. I’m a huge Nora Roberts fan and this series is a little darker than she usually writes. I read everything that Nora writes and I was a little skeptical about this first book — she hooked me immediately into this story. I LOVED it. I’ve read the first book at least 4 times. The next one can’t get her soon enough. You go Nora!!!
It sure answered a lot! Many thanks, and wow!! Already pre-ordered and SO looking forward to it.
I love this! Sigh…December is so far away!
I just finished Year One. It was amazing. The characters all are so very special. While reading I felt many emotions, horror, sadness, joy and shock. Looking forward to the next book .
OMG!!! So excited, I can’t wait until it comes it out.
if only it was Dec. already can not wait this by far is a great story. thanks for your writing
You are pretty much the only author I read these days. I have read Year One twice and hate waiting all the way until Dec. 4 but I know I have to so I re-read everything else. I am back with The MacGregors now and just getting to Brides as once I have them all, I read them chronologically. Thank you for many hours of glorious reading. Can’t wait to see what else you have. Oh and I also have all your J.D. Robb’s except probably the last 5. I just have to figure out what the last one is that I have then I will know where to start looking for the rest.
I can’t wait for this book to be released! December can’t come fast enough.
So looking forward to this book. Will have to time it right in rereading the first one. Love your books. Love your imagination.
I have been reading Nora Roberts books for years. An incredible author that keeps me reading, reading and reading. Thank you Nora. Never stop writing.
Love all Nora Roberts books. Especially the JD Robb books. Favorites are the trilages.
Year One was so different but the kind of book you just can’t put down. Can’t wait for next book.
Love all her books. Especially the trilages. JD Robb’s a big fav. Year One I could not put down. Awesome. Can’t wait fir next book in December. Keep writing please!!!
I can hardly wait to read this book. I am going to read Year One again in anticipation of Blood and Bone. Thank you so much for sharing an excerpt with us.
I have the date on my calendar and I can’t wait!
Omg cant wait !!!! Thanksgiving I will have to re- read book one so excited!!!!
I am so excited, can’t wait!!! Love all the Nora Roberts trilogys!!!
I wasn’t going to read the excerpt but I couldn’t help myself! I pre-ordered the book 3 months ago. SO looking forward to it!!!
I wasn’t going to read the excerpt but I couldn’t help myself! I pre-ordered the book a couple of months ago. SO looking forward to it!!!
I am so excited the release is getting closer. This has been a long wait. I tell everyone who had not read Year One to read it in preparation for the release of book 2. Year One was amazing! Thank you for this excerpt. ?❤
I’m anxiously awaiting Of Blood & Bone with bated breath; I’ve been reading you since you first started publishing..have read everything you’ve written. Is Eve and Roarke ever going to have a family?
Sincerely enjoy all your work. I read or listen over and over to your stories. Thank you
I was so glad to see others are pretty much only reading Nora Roberts ..I was starting to feel weird about it. I used to read quite a few other authors, but not so much any more. When I start to read another author, I tend to compare the characters to Nora’s books and they don’t really rise to the occasion. I also tell my son and husband that I have enough jewelry, clothes, and yes ..even shoes and purses (no…I am not crazy…much) ..but I never have enough Nora Roberts books ..and this year for Christmas there are three new ones to add to the list ..Of Blood and Bone, Leverage in Death and Shelter in Place. I am a truly happy lady. Thank you Nora for your magick imagination. I truly hope you really feel all the beautiful karma headed your way from your readers.
its always suspense
I love this series, although I prefer the adventures of Hoyt and Cian. Thank you Nora Robets that I can read a tale that combines love and magic. At the same time it is not sweetened, but it gives hope, and you can not stop reading until the last letter. And naqet then I want to read again. It is a pity that there is no third part yet. At least in Poland.
