<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> It began on New Year's Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed -- and more than half of the world's population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magic rose up in its place. Some of it is good, like the witchcraft worked by Lana Bingham, practicing in the loft apartment she shares with her lover, Max. Some of it is unimaginably evil, and it can lurk anywhere, around a corner, in fetid tunnels beneath the river -- or in the ones you know and love the most. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b><i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER (November 2018)</b><br><b><br>A stunning new novel from the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Nora Roberts--<i>Year One</i> is an epic of hope and horror, chaos and magick, and a journey that will unite a desperate group of people to fight the battle of their lives...<br></b><br>It began on New Year's Eve. <p/>The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed--and more than half of the world's population was decimated. <p/>Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place. Some of it is good, like the witchcraft worked by Lana Bingham, practicing in the loft apartment she shares with her lover, Max. Some of it is unimaginably evil, and it can lurk anywhere, around a corner, in fetid tunnels beneath the river--or in the ones you know and love the most. <p/>As word spreads that neither the immune nor the gifted are safe from the authorities who patrol the ravaged streets, and with nothing left to count on but each other, Lana and Max make their way out of a wrecked New York City. At the same time, other travelers are heading west too, into a new frontier. Chuck, a tech genius trying to hack his way through a world gone offline. Arlys, a journalist who has lost her audience but uses pen and paper to record the truth. Fred, her young colleague, possessed of burgeoning abilities and an optimism that seems out of place in this bleak landscape. And Rachel and Jonah, a resourceful doctor and a paramedic who fend off despair with their determination to keep a young mother and three infants in their care alive. <p/>In a world of survivors where every stranger encountered could be either a savage or a savior, none of them knows exactly where they are heading, or why. But a purpose awaits them that will shape their lives and the lives of all those who remain. <p/>The end has come. The beginning comes next.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p>"Electric and ground-breaking...A fast-paced, mesmerizing, and thought-provoking novel that will no doubt add to Roberts' legions of fans." --<b><i>Kirkus</i>, Starred Review</b> <p/>"Fascinating characters and a well-built dystopia combine with a riveting plot that will attract a whole new group of readers.<i> --<b>Library Journal</b></i><b>, Starred Review</b> <p/>"What Roberts has done, with her radical departure, is ensure that she will find new fans among readers attracted to apocalyptic sf and speculative fiction." --<i><b>Booklist<br></b></i><br>A match for end-of-the-world classics like Stephen King's <i>The Stand.</i>" --<i><b>New York Times Book Review</b></i> <p/>"You'll be hooked." --<b><i>People </i>Magazine</b> <p/>Roberts knows exactly how to spellbind an audience." --<i><b>The Washington Post <p/></b></i>"Nora Roberts has turned her pen to apocalyptic fiction.
