Product Description

Product Description
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 two thousand years' experience in cruelly killing and changing humans into her own kind - 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 prophesised will join him as a circle and do battle against Lilith's army of vampires. Fate brings him first to Glenna Ward - a modern witch who can make her own kind of magic. Hoyt and Glenna find themselves drawn together, but is their love strong enough to survive not just the battle ahead but the centuries that separate them? Morrigan's Cross is part of The Circle Trilogy, Nora Roberts' magical new series of paranormal romances. Other titles in this series are Dance of the Gods and Valley of Silence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read on..., 1 Sep 2006
By Clare "clare030182" (Plymouth, Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
  
I picked this book up because I love Nora Roberts, I've never found one of her books that I didn't like but when I read the back I wasn't sure .. a 12th century sorcerer .. I'm not much on historical fiction but since I needed something to read I bought it anyway. I read it in one day, couldn't put it down!! This is the story of Hoyt the 12th century sorcerer from Ireland and the circle of 6 he must pull together after a vision from the goddess Morrigan...the book soon switched to modern time which is more to my liking and the 6 began to arrive... a modern day witch, Hoyt's vampyre brother Cian, a future queen and her shape shifting cousin from the mythical land of Geall and a warrior. The 6 have to fight Lilith the vampire queen who wants to bring about the apocolypse. This book is the first in the trilogy and covers the first step in this battle (the forging of the circle) and is also the romance of Hoyt and Glenna the witch). The book is mainly set in modern day Ireland and was much more to my taste than I originakly thought. This book is part of a trilogy and is not one to buy if you want a stand alone story as we don't really get into the real battle by the end of the book .. the second book picks up the day after this book ends. I really enjoyed this book and will definately be buying Dance of the God and Valley of Silence as soon as they're out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nora does it again!!, 13 Sep 2006
If you have read the last few Nora Roberts series (three sisters and key trilogys etc) you will have noticed her liking for all things witchy and irish. This book is along the same lines but a little deeper . A compelling story, but one which loses a little in the setting up of the story to follow and introducing the other characters. I have never really enjoyed historical stories but this story mixes nicely with the present. A thoroughly enjoyable book which I will no doubt read again and again. Can't wait for the next two to be released. (especiallys Cian's story, yummy!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but should be one book not a trilogy, 24 Dec 2006
By LEP "LEP" (Halesowen, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
An adequate synopis has already been supplied, so I will not write another one. I've read nearly all Nora Roberts books and enjoyed them, especially the romantic suspense and the ones about magic. This book was no exception. However, personally I think that the publishers should have waited for her to finish all three and then published them as one book with three parts. Both of the first two, Morrigan's Cross and Dance of the Gods do not really stand alone. Both, particularly M.Cross, end very abruptly. In fact in M.Cross I turned over expecting another chapter. The other chaper is of course the start of the second book. I don't think you could really read the books as stand alone stories or out of order, which
you can with the Three Sisters trilogy for example (and I did, reading the second one first!).

The first book supposed to really focus on Hoyt, the sorcerer, who is responsible for bring the others together to fight the vampire queen. However, for me Hoyt remained a two dimentional, undeveloped and rather boring character. His brother Cian (KEY-an) who has been turned into a vampire, comes across as the more interesting and charismatic of the two. The character who is developed in this book is the witch.

I thought that the six characters were all introduced too soon and as a consequence not developed enough in this first book. The second book focuses on the shapeshifter and the warrior and the last book on the scholar queen and the vampire. The best book of the three is the third one. However, the first chapter is virtually a repeat of part of book two. There is a narrator of the books, but the recap of the stories is not really enough for a reader to read them out of sequence and alone. Buy all three and read them one after the other as one book.

Nora Roberts has written several novels featuring magic and myths/legends of Ireland. However, I hope she is not jumping on the bandwagon regarding fiction about vampires. Pardon the pun, but it has been done to death by loads of other authors, and she really does not need to join in, in my opinion.
