“I…am nothing.”He takes a step forward, shaking his head twice, with absolute conviction. “You’re not nothing, Nova.”In the Eon galaxy, Dominion controls any planet with solid Neron deposits, and Nova just found out they’re coming for hers. Korpillion isn’t supposed to have any Neron—the galaxy’s purest form of energy—but Nova Ainsley has been working with the owner of a secret mine for months, … secret mine for months, building highly illegal weapons that can wield Neron. She wants off Korpillion, and selling these weapons will buy her and her father a ticket to another planet in the galaxy.
Neron is incredible on its own, but there are those who can wield it to their will, granting them the ability to read minds, see the future, and destroy worlds—the Nero. But this is a galaxy where they are ceasing to exist, and Dominion owns the last one in the known universe, using him to take over and destroy billions of lives.
An encounter with the last Nero shows Nova her future: it’s with him. She will stand by his side one day, her fingers laced through his, love and adoration in both their eyes, a dark queen to his evil, pawn king.
Fate or destiny, Nova will do whatever it takes to change their future, and that of the galaxy.

If you loved the relationship between Kylo Ren and Rey (Reylo ) in the recent Star Wars movies you will probably be into this. I sure as heck was!! I just wish it had been longer but there are six more episodes for me to look forward to.
There are a few Star Wars undertones but don’t worry if you’re not a fan, it’s nothing like it really. There’s an evil empire like company, people with special abilities and chosen one vibes for our leading lady but that’s kind of it for the Star Wars similarities. Except for the Reylo thing (which I freaking LOVE).
It’s a brilliant first book in a series and a great intro to the genre if science fiction isn’t something you’d usually read.
This is a well written first book in a series, that mostly sets the scene for what is to come. The characters are interesting and don’t totally follow the norm. I look forward to he rest.
Neron Rising: A Space Fantasy Romance (The Neron Rising Saga Book 1) Kindle Edition

I received an eARC via NetGalley and am choosing to leave a fair and honest review
A good book that goes a bit overboard with scifi language that is proprietary to this series is still an exciting and action packed romantic sci-fi adventure. If you can get passed the tech speak like: Lunars for months, Solars for years and various new expletives, the writing is tight and the characters are fantastic. Readers who like a complete book beware, this series borders on a serial. The books are still whole in their own but they do end on cliffhangers and are short. The characters and plot are set up but do not reach a full arc.
Nova lives on a planet that is completely made of a megalopolis. A giant planet-wide city that houses 28 billion souls. A maker of illegal Neron weapons and a legal mechanic, she leads a simple and boring life until she realizes the Dominion is about to take over her world. She also has a voice in her head, the voice of a man she has never met. When she does meet him, her world is turned upside down.
Overall, a fantastic, fun new series.
41/2 stars rounded up to 5 stars.

This is an exciting new series that is told in episode format. The author quickly drew me into the story and has left me wanting more. The author has built a world and created characters easily pictured. I don’t want to say too much for fear of giving anything away. I will say, I’m very curious to see what happens next.
When I first saw this book, I immediately fell in love with the cover!! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I started reading it, as I’m usually not a fan of sci-fi or space fantasy. But this book far exceeded my expectations from the very first page. I read it in one sitting because I just had to know what happened. I am eagerly awaiting the next episode.
I was really, really reluctant to read this book because the genre isn’t one of the ones I generally read in. However, since I have read and appreciated the author’s works before, I went ahead to took the plunge. And, OMG, I am so glad I did! This series is episodic in nature so don’t expect a full book, but there was just so much in this one. Intrigue, attraction, action, and plot just all came together to create a book I didn’t want to stop (in point of fact, I did read it all in one setting)! And, the characters are so captivating, the swear words interesting (a word of warning: don’t let them throw you because they are unusual), and the universe is so unique. The world is dark but hope is still there. Give this book a try as I don’t think you’ll regret it. Now, I’m just holding my breath waiting for the next book. Thankfully, the wait won’t be long! I highly recommend this book! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.
