Dark Witch / Nora Roberts / 352 pages / USA Today Bestseller - November Challenge

"You can't just hope for happy endings.  You have to believe in them.  Then do the work.  Take the risks.  Slay the dragon..."  "For love and friendship, for family and friends, we'll stand together in the right time, in the right place, and fight with each other.  Fight for each other."  So says American-born Iona Sheenan.  Her Irish grandmother, Nan, encouraged her to return to her roots in County Mayo.  She leaves everything behind, including her indifferent parents, and seeks a new life in what immediately becomes her homeland.  She completes the three who will forever vanquish the evil Cabhan from the earthly plain.  Her cousins, Branna and Connor, and friends, Meara, Boyle, and Fin, work together to defeat Fin's ancestor.  Romance abounds, as does the magic of Ireland, its history, and its folklore. First in a trilogy.
