Klappentext A woman's quest for courage opens her heart to love in the third Key Trilogy novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts. Growing up, Zoe McCourt did not have an easy life-some might call it "disadvantaged." A hairstylist from a West Virginia trailer park, she ended up in beautiful Pleasant Valley, Pennsylvania, by sheer determination. How she ended up on a quest for a key to unlock the soul of a warrior demigoddess is another story… Invited to an imposing estate overlooking the town, she met Malory Price and Dana Steele. Each woman was at a crossroads in her life, each facing an uncertain future. And a mysterious couple offered them the chance of a lifetime: a million dollars each if they could free the trapped souls of three mythological sisters-an artist, a bard, and a warrior. Malory and Dana had to reach deep inside themselves to find their keys-and not without paying a price. Now, it has become Zoe's quest. As a single mother, she has more to risk, more to lose. But her courage in the face of overwhelming odds cannot be underestimated. A nurturer to her son, a defender of her friends, she must confront dark forces amassed against her to make all of their dreams come true… Don't miss the other books in the Key Trilogy Key of Light Key of KnowledgeBACK in the parlor, where they found coffee and wedges of apple pie thick enough to make even Simon’s eyes bug out, Malory rubbed a comforting hand up and down Zoe’s back. “Are you ready for this?” “I’ve got to be, don’t I?” “You’ve got us all with you.

And there’s more. When we started this we weren’t as involved. With each other, with Rowena and Pitte, with the daughters. Everything matters more now than it did two months ago.” Zoe let out a shaky breath. “You’re not making me feel any better.” “I don’t mean to. You’ve got a big load to carry, Zoe, and sometimes you’re going to have to carry it yourself, no matter how much we want to take some of it off your hands.” Malory looked up, pleased to see Dana coming toward them. “What’s up?” Dana asked. “A quick pep talk before we get started.” Malory took Zoe’s hand again. “Kane will try to hurt you. He’ll try to trick you. In fact?and I’ve thought a lot about this?because this is the last round, win or lose all, he’s going to be only more determined to stop you.” Dana took Zoe’s other hand. “Feeling peppy yet?” “I’ve thought a lot about it, too. I’m afraid of him.” Zoe squared her shoulders. “I think you’re telling me I should be afraid. That if I’m really going to be prepared, I should be afraid.” “That’s exactly it.” “Then I guess I’m as r...
