Great romantic fantasy
The battle continues... The Domination was not finished with Conar yet. Even Tohre would not be able to help him. Conar's son, Corbin, would also catch the Temple's eyes. Corbin was born with the crescent shaped mark in his hand. The mark was "The Sign of the Wind". Liza would sacrifice much for her son. The whole realm would. **** Readers again are warned of torture scenes and dark fantasy. I had to be VERY careful not to give anything ital away. This book is fast paced and over-flowing with surprises! I recommend this entire series highly and look forward to book four! **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch.
Timeless Tales 4.5 star review Of the three books in this series I have read, I've enjoyed this one the most. It was the most balanced in terms of story and character development.The violence was not overdone compared to the previous book. I experienced great joy and great sorrow and practically all the emotions in between. I enjoyed learning more about the secondary characters especially Legion, Brelan and even Galen.You learn more about Kaileel and Conar's relationship. This book takes you beyond Conar and Liza's relationship. In order to understand the motivations, characterizations and storyline, I highly recommend you read the books in order. You can see the growth and maturation of the characters over these three books. I look forward to reading book four of this series when it is published.
Very highly recommended At last reunited, Conar and Liza plan to return to his father's kingdom Serenia. Confronting the demon Raphian in the book's prologue, Conar learns to unit his gifts with Liza to defeat the Storm God. Little do they realize that with the battle won, they've yet to win the war against the evil god and those who serve him, The Brothers of the Dominion led by Kaileel Tohre. Or the depths of evil Tohre will sink to in order take revenge for being scorned by Conar. Nightmares taunt him, bringing visions of Liza with Conar's half-brother, Brelan Saur. He hears Tohre's vicious gloating, promises of Tohre depriving Conar of his lady forever. The dreams prove to be a retched prophecy as Conar falls victim to great evil. His drink spiked with tensure by his own Elite guard, Conar again looses his temper. Liza's mother, the queen, refuses to allow Conar to take Liza home, fearing for her safety, both from Conar and from Tohre. Liza is determined to stand beside Conar so they may defeat Tohre and his followers together. She believes they are destined to be together. She is the Keeper of the Wind; he is the Prince of the Wind. Sadly, Liza underestimates the events already set into motion, and the reach and evil of the Dominion. Death and change will sweep aside all that she loves and all that she believes in. As Tohre's power grows, his perversity and evil threaten to destroy the kingdom. Tohre destroying Conar and weakens the power of the King as Galen, Conar vile twin, steps in to rule the kingdom. But that is only the beginning of Tohre's plans. Over taxation, repossessing the homes and belongings of those unable to pay, destroying the spirit of the people, and the surrounding kingdoms, all build the power of the Dominion. For the first time, their goal to bring mankind into submission to their power, begins to become a real possibility. Boyett-Compo allows the Windlegend series to grow beyond a simple fantasy series, with a fascinating and reverting love story, into a saga of the fight between good and evil. The evolving mythology, on which the novel rests, continues to become even more complex and mesmerizing with each book of the series. Further, the story of Conar's destruction had me reading until three in the morning, tears streaming down my face. I could hardly keep going, the novel touched me so deeply, yet I couldn't put the thing down. The pain and the challenges faced by these extraordinary characters held me enthralled. If you like Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, then you're going to love Charlotte Boyett-Compo's Windlegends. Very highly recommended.

An Empire worth fighting for
If it is by Boyett-Compo, it is going to be great! Of all the warriors in the Empire, the ones known as Reapers were most feared. They were the elite, feared by men and women alike. Trained from birth to hunt and kill, then altered at the age of ten for other special talents, Reapers knew no fear and no love. Prime Reaper Captain Kamerone Cree was the best of them all. The Fleet called him "the Iceman". The Resistance had noticed Cree's looks toward Dr. Bridget Dunne. With careful planning the Resistance had Cree taken to Behavioral Modification (Be-Mod 9) for "punishment". Unknown to the Empire, the doctors of Be-Mod 9 were really re-programming the Prime Reaper. That was easier said than done, for Reapers were what Terra called Vampires. A bloodbeast lived within each Reaper. They were usually merciless warriors with a high pain tolerance, but whenever one entered into Transition the beast took over. The Resistance chose Bridget as his mate. Cree and Bridget would be used to change the Empire, whether they liked it or not! ***** A lot of torture takes place within this book. Anyone who enjoys the series of STAR WARS will find themselves glued to the pages of this novel! I do not care if you are male or female! It is a Dark Fantasy novel with a touch of Romance. I practically GROWLED at anyone who made me stop reading for even a few minutes. It is THAT good! Highly recommended to ALL Fantasy and Sci-Fi fans out there! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch.

BEWARE of Captain Kamerone Cree - The Reaper!!! Captain Kamerone Cree is the highest ranking officer in the Ministry of Acquisitions.Since birth, he has been conditioned and trained to uphold the beliefs of the brutal Rysalian Empire.He, along with six others, are known as Reapers.All of them are extremely dangerous and possess the power to shapeshift into something very, very . . . lethal.None of them are more dangerous than Kamerone Cree. His savage/ruthless reputation causes men and women to flee from his presence.No one dares to confront Kamerone, fearing his wrath.He displays no emotion at all and is known as the Iceman.Whatever he wants, he gets.No questions asked.Nothing is denied him until the Tribunal questions his loyalty and decides to make an example of him. Why is his loyalty in question when it has never been before?He believes he knows who is responsible.The Resistance . . . He is ordered to the Ministry of Behavioral Modification where he undergoes cruel and brutal treatments.It is there that Dr. Bridget Dunne enters his life. Bridget is young, beautiful and a member of the Resistance.Along with her co-workers, she seeks to gain freedom from the Rysalian Empire and their only hope is to have Prime Reaper Kamerone Cree join their side.Bridget never imagines the impact he will have in her life.As he is forced to go through brutal reconditioning methods, her feelings for him begin to change. Kamerone is the most deadliest of his kind.A shapeshifting assassin that believes any emotion will leave him vulnerable.Yet, he falls very, very HARD for Bridget.He purchases her, forcing her to live with him. It is there that their feelings spiral out of control. Unknown to these two, there are darker forces at work.There are some who will stop at nothing to insure that their evil plans come to life. Kamerone Cree was the ultimate, tortured hero. He was simply to die for . . . (sigh!)He possessed such unimaginable power, a deadly force to be reckoned with if ever crossed yet he never harms Bridget.One scene comes to mind (can't give anything away).Bridget pushes Kamerone's emotions, willingly making him angry.She expects him to hurt her yet he never does.He touches her with gentleness and that soft caress is so very intimidating because it is in such contrast to the deadly fury roaring within him. Will Kamerone join the Resistance and what will he do once he discovers Bridget's part in all of it? BloodWind was worth MORE than 5 stars!!It is incredibly written. I, for one, eagerly await the continuation of Bridget and Kamerone's story in DarkWind. Run and grab yourself a copy of BloodWind.Prepare to fall in love with the deadliest of all shapeshifting assassins - Kamerone Cree. Bravo, Charlee!
This was well worth the long wait The lords sitting on the Bench of the Court of Military Justice declare Captain Kamerone Cree guilty, shocking all reapers since their word is usually law.Cree, the highest ranked and recognized most deadly of reapers, is sentenced to active reinforcement at the Ministry of Behavioral Modification.Kamerone knows the resistance is involved and thirsts for vengeance. The resistance "controls" key Ministry of Behavioral Modification positions.They plan to insure that Kamerone falls in love with a Terran to win him to their side as the beginning of a more powerful opposition.They already have programmed Dr. Bridget Dunne to fall in love with Kamerone. BLOOD WIND, the first novel in the "Wind Demon" trilogy, is an exciting science fiction tale that uses romance and vampire elements to enhance a strong plot.The story line never slows down as readers observe an advanced technological society using its science to control and change people.Cree has many vampire traits, but love is not supposed to be in his genetic make-up.Does he love Bridget, an intrepid heroine who turns his bark into more than his bite, because of science or his heart?Charlotte Boyett-Compro has written a fabulous novel that will leave readers thirsting for books two and three.

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
deeply vivid complex fantasy Riain wants to go home, but suffers debilitating and potentially deadly Labyrinthian Fever,de Vienes's daughter Suzanna is the healer, but she has her own evil agenda involving her ailing patient.Only his mother, a member of the Multitude, understands the threat Suzanna poses to her son and enters the Shadowlands seeking help from the Oracle, Fantasy readers will gain immense pleasure from the deeply vivid complex PRINCE OF THE WINDS.The hero struggles with overcoming his illness and evil to do the right thing.Suzanna is quite the character spinning a dark web throughout the taut story line so that the audience receives a terse thriller inside a fantasy realm.Charlotte Boyett-Compo shows her tale spinning abilities to paint a unique world with this fresh but darker than usual (at least from this wonderful author) epic fantasy that will send readers to the four corners seeking the tremendous "Wind" novels.

Very highly recommended Gabe and Annie James have a wonderful, loving life together. Married for two years, Annie knows little of Gabe's past, and is sometimes surprised at the jobs he chooses, which don't seem to live up to the expectations set by a college degree. Although Gabe's secretive about his past, Annie hasn't asked a lot of questions; that is, until now. While doing the laundry, Annie finds a news clipping about the death of a policeman in Florida. Later, she finds a trunk filled with such clippings and such paraphernalia as a policeman would own. Iowa winters can be brutal, especially for a southern boy. Despite the frigid temperatures and piles of snow, Gabe was happy living with Annie. But there were times when his silence, preoccupation and nightmares frightened Annie. Nevertheless, the whole town loved Gabe, so when he was suddenly kidnapped from his home, an illegal act witnessed by neighbors, the town rallied to his rescue. Even when they learn of Gabe's past and his mobster family, the townsfolk never gave up their relentless pursuit to find Gabe. Gabe James is really James Gabriel Tremayne, son of mobster Liam Tremayne, a man whose quest for power leads to kidnapping and torturing his own son. Gabe was the only child of four that didn't conform to Liam's expectations. Unwanted since his conception, the young Gabe had only wanted his father's time and affection. What he got was inconceivable abuse. And now the abuse has committed him to a mental institution, ordered shock therapy and plastic surgery, and promised to never set him free. Further, Liam promises harm to Annie if Gabe attempts escape. IN THE HEART OF THE WIND provides psychological drama guaranteed to satisfy the appetite of the most demanding thriller fan. Previous fans of Ms. Boyette-Compo will relish this familiar, exciting voice while new fans will quickly find themselves addicted. Fast paced plotting, excellent characterization and a powerful voice combine in this heart rendering tale of power gone mad to reveal the dangers IN THE HEART OF THE WIND.
This book blew me away! Gabe James has a BIG secret. Not even hiswife Annie knows who he really is. Then Annie opens a big can of worms andGabe's evil father finds him. Now it's up to Annie and the town where theylive to get him back. This book gave me goosebumps.I literally couldnot put this book down and read it in one sitting on the edge of my chair!

tremendous romantic fantasy
Timeless Tales 4 stars review Lady Gillian Cree--or Gilly as she is called--does not want to marry the cruel and sadistic Rolf de Viennes whom her parents have chosen for her. With the help of her older brother Lord Nicholas Cree (Nick) she runs away from home. But the weather is bitter cold and they find themselves in the midst of a snowstorm and seeking shelter. They find what appears to be an abandoned house and break in to take shelter. What they discover inside surprises them. Inside the house Gilly and Nick find an unconscious man who is near death. They discover that he is someone they know. They nurse him back to health and he tells them about the lies of the past that separated him from his one true love-Gilly. Widowed Prince Kaelan Hesar has been in seclusion for five years in the house known as Holy Dale. Shortly before his self-imposed withdrawal from the world, his wife died tragically in the house. He has been suspected of killing her. For this reason, he is hated by the local people, who have nicknamed the house Unholy Dale. Once Kaelan's health improves, he leaves the house with Gilly and Nick and sets out on an adventure to right the wrongs done to them. However, they don't realize that their troubles are about to begin all over again. Charlotte Boyett-Compo has developed an alternate world with three-dimensional characters that are entrenched in political intrigue. The story is masterfully told through the eyes of Kaelan as he alternates between past and present to explain what led to his separation from Gilly. There is some graphic violence and sex but it's not gratuitous. This story is a prequel to the Keeper of the Wind series. Be warned, there are a few scenes that some may find disturbing-I did. In several flashbacks Nick and Gilly are involved in sexual encounters: she is only 14 and he's 21 years old. A few years later, while she is still not of age, he fondles and attempts to have sex with her. While this may be acceptable to some readers, this reviewer found it disturbing, especially given current news headlines about men taking advantage of young girls.
Windfall In desperation Gillian and herbrother Nicholas ran away, only to get lost in the freezing snow.ButGillian and Nick weren't the only ones out in the snow that night - a man,wronged by the same King, was dying of cold nearby. Hearing his cry forhelp, Gillian and Nick investigate, and in doing so find their ownsalvation - a house which would shelter them from the snow; and an exiledPrince from Gillian's past. Even after reaching the safety of the house,the two young adults were not out of the woods.Rolf de Vinnes was ontheir trail, Determined to find his wayward fiancee.Having lusting afterGillian for many years he is willing to go to any lengths to recoverher. Can a Prince-in-exile, a young woman and her brother overcome theforces that a King's favoured companion could muster? Their predicamentsets in motion a train of events that would leave a kingdom reeling. Helpedby priests, pirates and princes the trio just might survive.And if theydo - the betrayals and treachery that they discover could destroy powerfulpolitical alliances.It will also set in motion an unstopable train ofevents that started two generations ago. For the sake of one man's lust,a kingdom might topple...
