Chronicles of The One is a departure from Nora Roberts’ typical romance, leaning heavily into post-apocalyptic fantasy. Year One opens with a plague that kills billions, and the two sequels follow Fallon Swift as she grows from a sheltered farm girl into the prophesied leader of a scattered magical resistance.

The trilogy mixes survival fiction with epic fantasy, featuring witches, faeries, shapeshifters, and elves alongside ordinary humans rebuilding society. Roberts grounds the large-scale conflict with personal relationships and a found-family structure that gives the story emotional weight.
