How Guardians Trilogy Began
Nora Roberts, a titan of romance fiction with over 200 novels, launched the Guardians Trilogy in 2015 with Stars of Fortune. Known for her addictive trilogies, Roberts drew inspiration from her love of mythology and the idea of chosen heroes uniting against a shared foe. The series emerged during a prolific phase, with Roberts weaving paranormal elements into her signature romance formula, creating a vibrant world that feels both timeless and fresh.
Roberts crafted the trilogy to explore destiny’s pull, blending her knack for rich character dynamics with a fantastical quest. Fans embraced this return to her paranormal roots, seeing echoes of earlier works like the Three Sisters Island trilogy but with a bolder, global scope.
The Heart of Guardians Trilogy
The trilogy unfolds across three books, each spotlighting a romantic pair while advancing the group’s mission to find the Stars of Fortune—fire, water, and ice—before the dark goddess Nerezza claims them. Stars of Fortune (2015) introduces Sasha Riggs, a seer haunted by visions, who joins forces with a magician, an archaeologist, a time traveler, a mermaid, and an immortal warrior in Greece. Their quest for the fire star sparks both battles and bonds.
Bay of Sighs (2016) dives into Capri’s waters, focusing on mermaid Annika and time traveler Sawyer as they seek the water star. The final book, Island of Glass (2016), brings the team to Ireland, where immortal warrior Doyle and werewolf archaeologist Riley confront their pasts and Nerezza’s wrath to secure the ice star. Themes of unity, love, and sacrifice shine, with settings—lush islands, ancient ruins—that pulse with magic.
Roberts’ style is vivid yet accessible, balancing steamy romance with high-stakes action. The series’ diverse cast, from a shape-shifting werewolf to a compassionate magician, explores how individual strengths forge a collective destiny, making every page a celebration of teamwork and trust.
