"The third Windlegend tale is fantastic"
In Liza's home Oceania, Conar is unable to control his
temper so his father-in-law incarcerates him. Unbeknownst
to the royals, Conar's guard has drugged him. A recurring
nightmare chills Conar because he would rather die than
see his beloved Princess sleep with his half-brother and
in those same dreams his former mentor/tormentor Kaileel
Tohre vows to separate the lovers forever. Eventually, he
and Liza decide to return to his father's kingdom over the
objection of his mother-in-law who fears for her
daughter's safety. Liza believes they are destiny's children with her being
the Keeper and him the Prince of the Wind. However, Tohre
is stronger and his thirst for vengeance over Conar's
rejection deeper. He plans to give Liza to Conar's half
brother, destroy Conar so he begs to return, and devastate
the land by making Conar's twin Galen the monarch. The
Brothers of the Dominion that he leads appear on the verge
of achieving these goals the disinherited Conar lies
seemingly dead in the Labyrinth, Galen has a now pregnant
Liza at his side on the throne, and Tohre rules the
kingdom. The third Windlegend tale is fantastic as time moves on
with the death of Conar's father and Liza now with King
Galen. The story line is action-packed leaving readers
breathless at the pace of the major subplots. As with the
fine first two novels, the tale is owned by a terrific
cast of good vs. evil with the bad guys having the upper
hand. Excellent fantasy that is best read by starting
with the previous tales as this novel builds up the
excitement and tension from them; how much higher can as
Charlotte Boyett-Compo take her audience with the
remaining six stories? Harriet Klausner
