"To celebrate the rise of their new queen, three goddesses of the moon created three stars, one of fire, one of ice, one of water. But then they fell from the sky, putting the fate of all worlds in danger. And now three women and three men join forces to pick up the pieces... Sasha Riggs is a reclusive artist, haunted by dreams and nightmares that she turns into extraordinary paintings. Her visions lead her to the Greek island of Corfu, where five others have been lured to seek the fire star. Sasha recognizes them, because she has drawn them: a loner. All on a quest. All with secrets. Sasha is the one who holds them together the seer. And in the magician, Bran Killian, she sees a man of immense power and compassion. As Sasha struggles with her rare ability, Bran is there to support her, challenge her, and believe in her. But Sasha and Bran are just two of the six. And they all must work together as a team to find the fire star in a cradle of land beneath the sea. Over their every attempt at trust, unity, and love, a dark threat looms. And it seeks to corrupt everything that stands in its way of possessing the stars."--… (mehr)

Romance
  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
I enjoy Roberts' contemporary fiction much more than her attempts at fantasy. I'm over halfway through and the logic for why these characters are coming together is just "fate." Not satisfying at all.
  Bodagirl | Feb 16, 2024 |
​I was just... bored. The characters seemed dull, the plot beyond improbable, the dialogue immature. I used to enjoy Nora Roberts' books. Then I grew up. I saw this one on a library shelf and picked it up randomly to see if I might get into her work again. Nope. ( )

Stars of Fortune
4 Stars

Reclusive artist Sasha Riggs travels to Corfu to make sense of the vivid dreams that have been haunting her. Once there, Sasha encounters 5 strangers, all of whom have been drawn to the Greek island on a quest to locate and reunite the three Stars of Fortune. While each member of the unlikely band possesses their own skills and abilities, it is only together that they will be able to find the first Star of Fire and prevent it from falling into the hands of evil.

This first installment in the trilogy is primarily exposition as the 6 guardians gather and their origins, powers and abilities are introduced. It is entertaining to follow along as they all slowly relinquish their secrets, some of which are quite surprising.

In terms of the romance, the pairing is between Sasha, the Seer and quietest member of the group, and Bran Killian, the Magician, who is reminiscent of many other "nice guy" heroes in Roberts' books, i.e., solid, supportive and sexy. Unfortunately, their relationship is much like their characterization - subdued and lacking real emotion and intimacy.

In sum, this is a solid beginning to the series and the overarching plot is intriguing. Moreover, the pairings to come in the next books are compelling, particularly Doyle and Riley. ( )
