The Pagan Stone is the third book in the Sign of Seven trilogy written by Nora Roberts. This paranormal romance novel was published in 2008 and continues the story of three friends who are bound by an ancient curse.

The book follows the lives of three men: Gage Turner, Fox O’Dell, and Caleb Hawkins, who have been best friends since childhood. They share a dark secret and a powerful bond that was formed when they were ten years old. On that fateful day, they released an ancient evil force known as the Blood Sorcerer, which has haunted their town of Hawkins Hollow for seven days every seven years.

Now, twenty-one years later, the final cycle of the curse is approaching. The three friends, along with their respective romantic partners, Cybil Kinski, Layla Darnell, and Quinn Black, must come together to find a way to defeat the Blood Sorcerer once and for all.

Gage Turner is a talented artist who has always been haunted by visions of death and destruction. He is drawn to Cybil Kinski, a researcher with psychic abilities who has been studying the curse that plagues their town. Together, they work to uncover clues and find a way to break the curse.

Fox O’Dell is a charming and flirtatious man who has never taken anything too seriously. However, his carefree attitude changes when he meets Layla Darnell, a bookstore owner with her own supernatural gifts. As they delve deeper into the mystery surrounding the curse, Fox realizes that he must confront his own fears and vulnerabilities.

Caleb Hawkins is a quiet and introspective man who has always felt responsible for what happened on that fateful day twenty-one years ago. He finds solace in his friendship with Quinn Black, a journalist who is determined to uncover the truth behind the curse. Together, they face their past demons and discover the strength within themselves.

As the seven days of darkness approach, the group must face terrifying supernatural creatures and confront their own inner demons. They learn that love, friendship, and trust are their most powerful weapons against the Blood Sorcerer. With the help of their newfound abilities and the support of each other, they fight to save their town and break the curse once and for all.

Years ago, after the ritual of their blood brothers, Gage, Fox, and Caleb, each walked out of the woods with a bloodstone. It will now become their weapon in the final battle against the demon they have awakened. Winner gets all…

Shared nightmares, visions of blood and fire, and random violence begin to descend on longtime friends and the women bound by fate to them. None of them can ignore the fact that, this year, the demon has grown stronger – feeding the terror it creates. But now, the three fragments of the bloodstone have been fused together. If only they could figure out how to use it.

A gambler like Gage has no trouble betting on his team to find a way. And though he and Cybil share the gift of seeing the future, that’s all they share. But Gage knew that a woman like Cybil – with her wisdom, strength and devastating beauty – could only bring him luck. Good or bad is yet to be determined – and could mean the difference between absolute destruction or the end of Hawkins Hollow’s nightmare.

I’ve listened to the audio versions of the previous two books in the series and can’t wait for the final book to be released. As soon as I saw it listed here, I grabbed it immediately. The conclusion is as excellent as the first 2 books. I can’t stop listening with the “and then what happens next” type of prediction. What a great story and character! Oh, good reader too.

I love this series! All three books have different storytellers. At first I thought it would screw it up for me but I was wrong. All the storytellers are excellent! The transitions felt so smooth and seamless that I quickly got used to them. The story is well written with many interesting details. The characters are well developed with such interesting and unique personalities that I feel an immediate connection to them. I highly recommend this series!!

Great trio! Nora Roberts is the best in every genre. Fantasy, Thriller, Mystery, Legend, Romance, Contemporary; she covers it all. She’s even the name of one of the top awards for romance fiction. Her “happily ever after” romances are hard to win and well fought for.
