If she’s The One, the world may be safe after all. I loved Fallon Swift and I loved this book. A 5 Star YA fantasy read.

Of Blood and Bone
The Chronicles of One Book #2
Nora Roberts
Highly anticipated Of Blood and Bone, book two in Robert’s Chronicles of The One trilogy is absolutely fantastic full of blood, battles and training. It begins right after book one ends and features Fallon Swift’s two year training period from age thirteen to fifteen getting her ready for the prophesied battle between light and dark. Where book one sets the stage, introduces the players and ends the world book two tries to put it back together again, albeit with spit wads and chewing gum – it’s called an apocalypse for a reason. Readers are reunited with all the unforgettable characters from Year One, fifteen years in the future and get to see who hooks up with who, how many kids they have, and who is an uncanny and who’s normal and answers all those pesky “where are they now” questions. The storyline is intense, the pace is lightening fast and the backdrops are amazing. Nora does a bang up job with book two and leaves her audience with tears in their eyes and wishing they could move time forward to book three, but alas we’ll all have to wait until November ’19 for The Rise of Magicks.

SUMMARY:
Over a decade ago the virus called the Doom, long predicted killed most of the inhabitants of the planet thereby setting in motion the prophesied ultimate battle between good and evil. Those left and those to come were either without magickal powers or with (uncanny) and of those there were either light (good) uncannies or dark (malevolent) uncannies. And they were all expectantly waiting for The One, a savior to the light and whom the dark wanted to destroy.
In her thirteenth year Fallon Swift left her home and her family to fulfill a prophecy she known about and both dreaded and anticipated for all of her life. She knew the story of her birth, knew that she carried the name of both her birth father who gave his life to save hers and her mother’s and her life father who gave her his love and raised her. She knew she had a choice but she also knows that her destiny is to defeat the evil inhabiting what’s left of her world and so she learned to fight against the dark.
The residents of New Hope know the score the founders survived the virus and built a community where all are welcome. But they’ve also known loss, they still mourn those lost in the July 4th massacre and honor them by saving lives from both the dark uncanny and the sanctimonious “Purity Warriors” bringing them into the fold as they all wait for The One and the ultimate battle they know is coming.

OF BLOOD AND BONE is for the tweener reader. They will totally enjoy the story of one young girl who is born to be the "one" who saves mankind. The book is a dystopian tale.
