#Giveaway ~ Wings of Nestor (Solus Book #3) by Devri Walls Book Tour ~ 5 Star #Review ~ Excerpt



BOOK 1
Wings of Arian
by Devri Walls
Series: Solus #1
Published: April 24th 2012 

Synopsis:

Kiora thought she had never heard a lie until she was sixteen. But she was wrong. Her entire existence was based on nothing but. She thought that evil did not exist. Lie. That magic was not real. Lie. And that the land of Meros was all there was. One more lie.

With Aleric telling her that evil is knocking on the door and that she is the only one who can stop them she has a choice to make. Refuse, or start the wildest most painful ride of her life.
She reluctantly dips her toe into her new existence of magic and threads, dragons and shapeshifters, and the person who wants to take control of it all: the evil Dralazar.

However, this journey was never meant to be hers alone. She will be accompanied by a Protector. To her disbelief, and utter irritation they name the hotheaded, stubborn, non -magical, (albeit gorgeous) Prince Emane. They will have to trust each other with their lives, but right now Kiora would settle for a non hostile conversation.

And now it comes down to this, If you had never heard a lie, would you know when you heard one? Is knowing good from evil innate? Kiora finds herself having to decide who lives and who dies on those very questions.

BOOK 2
Wings of Tavea
by Devri Walls
Series: Solus #2
Published: November, 2012

Synopsis:

Kiora is rapidly learning that evil and lies come in shades of black and white and swirling greys, but nothing could have prepared her for the shock of leaving Meros.

Kiora and her protector Emane step through the pass into a world they never knew existed but were always meant to save, only to find it far worse than they could have ever imagined. Good has been forced into hiding for its own survival, while the rest of the land bows to the Shadow, a force that pushes any remaining thoughts of Dralazar from Kiora’s mind. This land is full of new creatures, each more dangerous than the last. Her visions have taken on a deadly twist, and magic, or what comes of it, was never so real. And then there is Alcander: a Tavean, their guide, and an entirely different kind of trouble.

BOOK 3
Wings of Nestor
Devri Walls
Series: Solus #3
Publication date: June 24th 2013

Synopsis:
Kiora needs answers. Who is the Shadow? Who is Jasmine? Are they connected? And even more pressing: how can she stop Shadow from using Kiora’s dreams as a map to find them? They have escaped three times, but are living on borrowed time—and everybody knows it.

Her search for help will push her closer to Alcander, send her to the dragon mountain of Toopai, and straight back to Meros—where magic will finally return to the land of no magic. Answers will be uncovered and plans unearthed that have been waiting for thousands of years.

But with the Shadow’s forces gathering, it looks like the land’s path is hurtling towards one outcome: war with the Shadow and death to all rebels. Armed with knowledge and hope, Kiora is determined to change that path. But will fate allow it? Or will it deal her a hard lesson about following ones own destiny?

Ok, so I had to at least share the beautiful cover for book 4 in this series. You can go to Goodreads to read about it.

BOOK 4
Wings of Lomay
Devri Walls
Series: Solus #4



This is a series review, so I will give my opinion of them all as a whole. I will not mentions details of the 2nd and 3rd books, that way, anyone who hasn't read any of them will not read spoilers here.

So, overall for the 3 books so far, this series is amazing. I really fell in love with Emane and Kiora. I really connected with Kiora, she is a sweet but strong girl. Emane in the first book was a little arrogant in the start, but sure changed a lot, and showed some real feelings for Kiora. I really loved the blossoming romance between them.

The story just escalates from the first. As I said I wont do any spoilers, but wanted to say it just gets better and better as the series goes one.

I also love the covers of the books, except book one does not fit, the cover hints that it is Emane on the cover, but he has blond hair and blue eyes, so showing a guy with short brown/black hair doesn't fit. The thing on his arm is right out of the book, so its why I think its him.

The other covers are great too.

So, if you like Fantasy books with some cool magic, then pick this series up. You won’t be sorry. It’s amazing, I could not read it fast enough. Now I want to read book 4. I did originally think it was a trilogy, but seen there is a 4th book.

5 out of 5 stars for all 3 books. (I will put separate reviews of each book up at Goodreads and Amazon as soon as I get them written individually for those who would like to know more on each of them)

I was provided copies of all 3 books from the author for my honest reviews.
