"The Keeper of the Wind is a quick moving novel of love and emotional growth in another time and place. Charlotte Boyett-Compo has a witty way with words and these are fun characters who trade wisecracks like professional comedians. The story was mostly dialogue driven and the author's ability to maintain the reader's interest speaks of a true writing talent. It would be hard to read this book and not love the characters. I think even those readers who do not normally pick up Fantasy stories would enjoy this book. The plot moves fast, bringing the story to an end before a reader is ready to say goodbye to the characters. Lucky for the readers, however, is the fact that the end leaves plenty of hints that these characters will be back in another book!" -- Writer's Club Romance Group on AOL Reviewer Board

"Yours is a winner! I liked it a lot and I am sure as people find out about it, they will want more, like I do now." -- The Net-Banshee

The first book in The WindLegends Saga, the nine volume dark fantasy/sword & sorcery romance series, The Keeper of the Wind is the story of a young prince coming into his own in a dark, forbidding world of sorcery and evil. With his arranged wedding only months away, he meets and falls in love with a mysterious beauty whose magical powers rival his own. Great evil has already laid claim to the young man's soul and it will take his stalwart strength, as well as his lady's, to defeat the powers of evil and save young Conar McGregor from the horrors of the Abyss!

The Keeper of the Wind is the premiere novel of a new and exciting author our company is thrilled to represent. With a talent for snappy dialogue and intriguing plot twists that will keep you guessing, Ms. Boyett-Compo is well on her way to becoming a romance legend in her own right. There are nine novels in The WindLegends Saga and all nine are written and ready to be released a year apart so if you like series novels which follow the same characters each time, this is the one for you.

I am happy to present your readers with something different and exciting in the romance world. My hero and heroine are not your ordinary cookie-cutter characters. This time around, it's the hero who gets into all kinds of trouble from which the heroine must extract him. There is romance here, but there is also mystery, intrigue, and a dash of good old fashioned swashbuckling sword excitement. Throw in an evil sorcerer, a saucy wench or two, partners in crime, and a crusty old Master-at-Arms, and you've got KEEPER. Give it a try. I think you'll like it. If you do, please let me know. Email me at windwriter@usa.net. I'd love to hear from you!!!

Conar's head swung around and he stared at the silhouette of a woman striding confidently toward him. Her back was to the burning rushes bundled over the low doorway of the dungeon so he couldn't see her face, but he knew that voice! His blood ran cold as she neared the brazier with its red-hot tongs and pokers. The light cast from the brazier made her face look evil and deadly.

How could he have been such a dimwit? The thought of her being in league with his twin brother filled him with such despair he thought his heart would break. When she giggled at him, his despair turned to bleak and icy rage.

"I am glad you find this so amusing, Mam'selle," he growled at her, stung by her duplicity; in agony over her betrayal. He strained at his manacles, the chains rattling with clanking fury. "Does seeing me like this give you pleasure, Lady?"

Liza placed her hands on her curving hips and turned her face to one side. "You have this uncommon habit of getting yourself into mischief when you're not with me," she chuckled.

"Aye, that I do," he spat. It was so hard to look at her beautiful face and not feel such terrible pain in his heart.

"Why do you think that is, Milord?" she asked sweetly.

"I thought with the wrong head!" he snarled, blowing out an angry stream of breath through his teeth.

Conar McGregor: Prince Regent of Serenia; the Chosen One. From early childhood he has experienced the brutal, crippling excesses of a mad sorcerer's insane obsession. Unable to love, to feel, to exist in his own world, he courts death with ever draw of the sword.

Liza: The Keeper, whose arms alone can hold at bay the terrors of McGregor's childhood; whose belief in his innate goodness can keep an evil world from destroying him and whose love can bring him back to the world of the living.

Kaileel Tohre: High Priest of the Brotherhood of the Domination. Tohre's unholy passion has all but driven young Conar McGregor beyond the realm of sanity. He will stop at nothing to make Conar his slave.
