Chronicles of the One
Nora Roberts · 3 novels · 2017–2019
Nora Roberts's trilogy opens after a pandemic has devastated the world and the survivors find that magic - "the uncanny" - has risen among the population, splitting society between those gifted with it and those who fear and hunt them down. Year One, Of Blood and Bone, and The Rise of Magicks follow a chosen young woman, Fallon Swift, as she is trained toward a confrontation with the story's dark power in a reordered, post-collapse world. It is a departure for Roberts into full post-apocalyptic fantasy rather than her usual contemporary settings.
