Blurb
Eleven years ago, my life was ripped away from me. My father, my brother, my humanity. Everything. I was thrown into the Kamps, created to be a mindless killing machine. But I fought against it, not letting them take away my memories of the past.
And I succeeded.
It has been seven years since I was taken out of the Kamps and made into the Emperor's Shadow. Now I only take orders from him, and him alone, without question. That is, until my brother, who I thought was dead, shows up and kidnaps me in order to help him find some long lost planet that our father used to tell stories about.
According to the legend, any who finds the planet SanshIl can rewrite the past, and my brother wants to use it to destroy the Emperor. What if this planet is real? The longer I stay with my brother, the more I begin to find that the Emperor has been keeping secrets from me, but I can't turn my back on him...
Or can I?

Review
I love everything Eva writes!  These stories are so unique.  She makes you fall in love with her characters.  With her being an English Professor, there are rarely any errors, she's still human though, so they do exist.  She really has a way with writing, from describing Than's first experiences, to the personalities given to Therese's pets.  I read the last two books of this trilogy in one sitting. The personal strength and the strength of their love, these two take on every obstacle thrown at them, with confidence that it will be overcome, is just amazing.  The only reason these get four stars, is because I've read other books of hers that are even better!  I still don't understand how this author is not more well known! She is an awesome writer, and hands-down better than many of the more mainstream writers that I've read in my life!

Into the Storm's Domain by Ged Maybury Release Blast

http://tonyaloveslife.wordpress.com/
 
Title: Into the Storm's Domain
Series: Across the Stonewind Sky (Book 1)
Author: Ged Maybury
Genre: Fantasy/Steampunk
Publisher: Satalyte Publishing
Release Organizer: Wolf Paw Blog Tours

Blurb
From NZ Children’s Book Award 2-time Finalist Ged Maybury comes the first volume of an exciting new Steampunk trilogy 'Across the Stonewind Sky'. Into The Storm’s Domain is a rollicking ride set in an alternative Victorian era, and it delivers an A-to-Z of swashbuckling adventure: Action, Buxom Beauties, Cunning Contrivances, Enigmatic Emissaries, Heroics, Science, Villainy and Strange Zoology!

Jilted at the altar and determinedly British about it, Rodney Hoverrim embarks on the adventure of a lifetime – following his nation’s bravest (and most foolish) into the ‘Storm’s Domain’.
But his airship adventure is barely under way before he is hijacked, and they in turn are attacked by sky pirates; twice! Now captive of the very vile villainess The Black Bitch, Rod must fight for his life as her fetid airship plummets towards the skyland of Vicaria – lair of its mad (and possibly evil) ruler Victor Vicario; well known for injecting his visitors with his latest concoctions.
Out of the frying pan but not yet in Victor’s clutches, Rod must desperately deduce who his true allies are before it is too late – only to discover that Vicaria hides a veritable shipload of secrets, and seductive women!
