Series: Book Three in the Ironskin Trilogy
Release Date: October 7, 2014
Publisher: Tor Books
Book Description:
The final book in this series will jump forward 18 years and feature Dorie, Jane's young charge from Ironskin.
18 years later . . .
Dorie Rochart has been hiding her fey side for a long time. Now, finished with University, she plans to study magical creatures and plants in the wild, bringing long-forgotten cures to those in need. But when no one will hire a girl to fight basilisks, she releases her shapechanging fey powers--to disguise herself as a boy.
While hunting for wyvern eggs, she saves a young scientist who's about to get steamed by a silvertail-- and finds her childhood friend Tam Grimsby, to whom she hasn't spoken in seven years. Not since she traded him to the fey. She can't bear to tell him who she really is, but every day grows harder as he comes to trust her.
The wyverns are being hunted to extinction for the powerful compounds in their eggs. The fey are dying out as humans grow in power. Now Tam and Dorie will have to decide which side they will fight for. And if they end up on opposite sides, can their returning friendship survive?

I love anything fantasy/paranormal like this. I have not read the series, but that is because I have not heard of it before, so thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteThis a great series!
DeleteI can't wait to read this one, I really enjoyed book 2!
ReplyDeleteI started it and so far I am really loving it!
DeleteThis series is already on book 3? Wow! I have the first book and I've been pretty excited to read it. I guess I should get a start on it soon now that book 3 is nearing its release date.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Ali! :)
Yep and all the books have a different person POV in each one. I think you will like them Nick.
DeleteAhhh! Yet another series I still need to start! I NEED MORE HOURS IN THE DAY ALI! I do hope to get to these books sometime soon:)
ReplyDeleteI know! I feel that way most days as well and especially about reading. Do you think we could magically make more? :P
DeleteThanks for the showcase I haven't tried this series but I think I would like it.
ReplyDeleteI think you would too!
DeleteGah, Ali this series has been on my wishlist, so maybe winning will force me to finally do it!
ReplyDeleteIn that case, I hope you win!
DeleteThis is steampunk right? I have book 1, haven't gotten round to it. Adding this to my Sunday feature! *giddy*
ReplyDeleteNope not steampunk per say but it has that sort of feel to it.
DeleteOh I have heard amazing things about this series and I really want to read it. That cover seems great. Great post, Ali :)
ReplyDeleteI just finished it and I think it is my favorite one.

DeleteOh I am loving that cover! Thanks for the intro to a new to me author :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome!
DeleteHave not read this series, but it really looks like some great books. I like the cover also!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great series. :)
DeleteI haven't heard of this series before. You are always introducing me to new books and authors. I am amazed at how many books I am still so unaware of!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Becca, there are a ton of authors I know I haven't heard of and even more I have but haven't had the chance to try yet.
DeleteI haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to read it because it sounds like an awesome book. Thanks for having this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! :)
DeleteI'm new to this series and want to read it because I love to read about things that go bump in the night, magic and paranormals. What else could any one ask for?
ReplyDeleteExactly and good luck!!
DeleteUF featuring Fay are my favorite kind! This looks great
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the giveaway :)
I am really starting to like them as well Michelle. :)
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but I want to! I've been in a big Fae kick for a bit (and of course, all the variations of the word 'fae'). I like this idea of going to university to help the supernatural around her, and I like the changing into a boy because no one will hire her. Reminds me of Mulan. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and good luck, I hope you like this one.
