About the Book:
The commander of the
East Wind Dominion is a terrifying man. He leads an army of automatons. He can
control lightning itself. And now, Rose Calder is his prisoner of war.
All Rose has ever
known is fighting. When the invading forces of the East Wind Dominion take away
her friends, her family, and her home, she takes to the skies to battle for her
freedom. For hope.
When the war comes to
a sudden end at the hands of commander Viktor Lang, she is certain that she is
about to die. When he discovers her impossible secret, she becomes a mystery
that he is desperate to solve and that may be worse.
The war may be over,
but now she stands to lose much, much more.

Authors Note:
"Steel Rose" is what I consider to be a villain romance. My male
characters are often not very kind or gentle. This story has a HEA, but it may
be a tough ride getting there. This story has mature themes and content.
"Hope. What a funny concept. A torch in the darkness fighting off the cold until the dawn."
Do not pass this series up
I first read an ARC copy - Then when it came out I read it via kindle unlimited and I then purchased the paperback
Kingsley first dazzled me with her dark fantasy series "The Masks of Under". Then she did a complete 360 with the "Halfway Between" series - which leaned more towards suspense and the angelic vs. demonic.
And now she has completely blown me away with Steel Rose the first in "The Cardinal Winds" series.
There have only been a few authors that have had the ability to ,quite literally, drag me into their work
What do I mean?
Have you ever been so involved in a book that you forgot it was fiction?
Where you actually shrugged your shoulders in response to a scene or the character?
Or you lifted your eyebrows to question them "like really, you are going to go there?"
Or you laughed so hard that your family and/or friends began to consider you may need a new jacket?
This was one of those stories
I can't pin point any exact moment or even why I felt so invested
I can tell you that this was an epic journey that left me emotionally depleted yet filled at the same time
"Show respect to those you defeat. In their descent, you have the power to choose whether it is an ally or an enemy who looks up at you."
Rose is fighting for freedom - It is all she has ever known
Jamie is the leader of their rebel band - Rose's side kick in a way
Viktor is fighting for ... well you will have to decide that for yourself
Then there is Otto - Gotta love a man willing to go above and beyond
Bub bless your sweet little empty tin shell
Nero you naughty little devil
You may be a bit weary of the genre listing - clock work gears - history - war -
Not your thing
I get that
But this is so much more than that
"I'm overwhelmed. I'm scared, I'm confused and I'm in a free fall" - Rose
Go on, try something new - take that leap - you will never know until you do
