"Wonderful story of love and loss!"
Against her husband's wishes, Elizabeth A'Lex has remained
at the keep, even though she knows he has good cause for
his jealousy. For Liza and Conar are destined to be
together and everyone knows that, including her husband,
King Legion A'Lex. Knowing the confrontation with the
Domination is coming soon, Liza is aware she must be at
Conar's side in order for the Wind Force to win. Now with
Conar at the keep, tensions are running high between
Legion, Liza and Conar. In the middle of all the bickering,
a storm blows in. Fighting himself all the way, Conar
manages not to go to Liza, for he knows Liza is terrified
of storms, always has been. Instead of Conar, Legion is
comforting his wife. Eventually, the storm brings down the
castle. Then Legion ends up with a broken leg and in all
the confusion, Conar and Liza come together again and know
they cannot live without each other. Legion throws a
terrible tantrum and declares both Conar and Liza dead to
him. With the castle destroyed, they all decide to go to
Conar's home, Boreas, and Liza and Conar are reunited and
husband and wife. Everything is going well with the two of
them, when Conar's son by another woman, Regan, tries to
kill Conar. Naturally, Regan uses the only blade capable of
killing Conar. Instead of actually killing his father,
Regan only wounds him, but very badly. When Conar is well
enough to realize what happened, he knows Regan couldn't
stop himself from the attempt and it was all because of
Kaileel Tohre, Conar's old nemesis. When Conar finally heals, he knows what he must do. He must
confront Tohre and finally eliminate the man. The Wind
Force is not going to allow Conar to go alone, nor will
Liza, so off they all go to the Monastery to take on the
Domination and kill Tohre. Will the Wind Force be able to take out the Domination?
Will Conar be able to kill Tohre? Will they all survive the
fight? WINDDREAMER, the sixth book in the WIND LEGENDS SAGA, is a
story of deep emotions. Charlotte Boyett-Compo does a
wonderful job of pulling us into the story with all its
complicated relationships between the characters. We feel
Conar's pain when his son tries to kill him and Liza's
feelings of trying to help Regan cope with what has
happened. Everything Liza and Conar go through to finally
be together again is amazing. Theirs is a love meant to be.
The world-building is just enough so we can understand what
is occurring, but never overpowering. I have to admit, I
found myself yelling at one point in this story, my
emotions were so totally caught up in it. Charlotte Boyett-
Compo is an excellent author and this is one series you
don't want to miss.
