No one does it better than Nora Roberts – and statistics prove it! This wonderful little fact from her webpage really hits that home: I mean, did you know that since her first bestseller in 1991, her books have spent a total of 1027 weeks on the New York Times bestsellers list…equivalent to over 19 consecutive years of weekly bestsellers! One of those awesome series included among them is the Key Trilogy, our featured Series Saturday post.

Book #1 – KEY OF LIGHT
The pleasure of your company is desired for cocktails and conversation. 8 pm, 4th September. Warrior’s Peak.
When Malory Price is issued with the above invitation she is naturally suspicious, especially as Warrior’s Peak is a local mansion straight out of a Hollywood movie. But with her overdraft at crisis limit and on the verge of losing her job at a local art gallery, she has little to lose by attending the event.
Only Malory is about to get more than she bargained for. At Warrior’s Peak she finds that she and two other women are the only guests of their mysterious hosts. They are told an amazing story of magic, gods and goddesses; and of three demi-goddesses who have been cast into an eternal sleep, their mortal souls placed under lock and key. And in every generation, three women are born who alone have the power to free them – if they are prepared to accept the challenge.
Three women. Three keys to find. If one fails, they all lose. If they succeed – money, power and a new destiny awaits. It will take more than intellect, more than determination. They will have to open their hearts, their minds, and believe that everything is possible.
Book #2 – KEY OF KNOWLEDGE
You are the Key. The lock awaits.
What happens when the very gods depend on mortals for help? That’s what three very different young women find out when they are invited to Warrior’s Peak.
To librarian Dana Steele, books and the knowledge they hold are the key to contentment. But now that search for knowledge must include the second key needed to release three souls held captive by an evil god. In each generation three are chosen who have the power to release them – if they dare accept a challenge that could promise them great riches but also grave danger…
And now it is Dana’s turn.
She won’t be alone, for she’s formed fast friendships with two very different women. But she can’t allow herself to be distracted by the return of the man who broke her heart so long ago, for a danger beyond anyone’s imagination is determined to keep her from completing her quest.
Book #3 – KEY OF VALOR
What happens when the very gods depend on mortals for help?
That’s what three very different young women find out when they are invited to Warrior’s Peak.
Light and knowledge have succeeded in their quest, and two of the keys have been found. Both Malory and Dana had taken their turns. The final, and last, test goes to Zoe McCourt – valor.
Now it was her burden, her risk. Her chance. She had to be brave enough, smart enough, strong enough, or everything they’d done before her would be for nothing.
Zoe has the courage to raise her young son alone, and to face all the adversity life has thrown at them. But will she have the courage to face a foe determined to do anything to stop the third key from being found – even destroying everything – and everyone – she loves?
