Science Fiction Romance
From Goodreads:
A demon
waiting to die...
An
outcast reviled for his discolored skin and rumors of black magic, Keirlan de
Corizi sees no hope for redemption. Imprisoned beneath the palace that was once
his home, the legendary 'Blue Demon of Adalucien' waits for death to finally
free him of his curse. But salvation comes in an unexpected guise.
A woman
determined to save him.
Able to
cross space and time with a wave of her hand, Tarquin Secker has spent eternity
on a hopeless quest. Drawn by a compulsion she can't explain, she risks her
apparent immortality to save Keir, and offers him sanctuary on her home-world,
Lyagnius. But Quin has secrets of her own.
When Keir mistakenly unleashes the
dormant alien powers within him and earns exile from Lyagnius, Quin chooses to
stand by him. Can he master his newfound abilities in time to save Quin from
the darkness that seeks to possess her?
Keir is a fast paced tension filled
book. It is Science Fiction
Romance but the romance element is allowed to develop as the story
progresses. The same is true for
the character development. Both
Keir and Quinn continue to develop as the story progresses. What both are like at the beginning of
the book is very different from what they are like at the end.
Keir is set in a very complex world
with a lot of back-story required for the story to work. The plot development allows each to
come to light as needed. The plot
itself is complicated. It feels
like one thing (Saving Keir) at the beginning and becomes something else
entirely half way through the book.
That change intruded on the story at first. Several characters and a new world seemed to come out of nowhere
without the lead up I would have liked.
Once I got past that the story again progressed in a smooth and
believable manner.
I had read parts of Keir before but
not the entire book. I don’t
know where or why but it may be because Keir is a re-release from 2012. I do know I had not read the entire
book.
Keir is book one in the Redemption series
and book 2 is due out shortly.
That is probably the reason for doing a new release.
Keir is a great read for all SFR fans.
Pippa Jay published Keir in 2015.
I received an ARC of Keir from
Netgalley in return for an honest review.
. While they are not the main characters in Warcry events around them are the main focus of the story. Heath of Xy, who traveled to the plains with Lara his Queen, and Atira of the Bear, the Plains warrior whose broken leg Lara set and healed in Warprize, are the main characters. Lara and Keir are returning to Xy for the birth of their child. Heath and Atira are pledged to protect Lara and her unborn child but when they reach Xy there are factions who want to overthrow Lara and place another on the throne. While Heath and Atira work to protect Lara they must struggle to overcome the differences that threaten their relationship.
