Product Description

An Insane Woman's Obsession:

Riain Cree, handsome young prince of Chale, has caught the eye of Suzanna de Viennes, a woman old enough to be his mother. Despite Suzanna's every effort, Riain will never return the wild affections of the witch.

Suzanna vows to let nothing come between her and the man she has staked claim to as her own. With the help of the demon Raphian, the Destroyer of Men's Souls, she intends to bring Riain to her and keep him there forever, even if it means taking his life in the bargain.

Maeve, a mysterious sorceress who has fallen deeply in love with the young prince, has saved Riain's life many times over. Will she be able to keep him out of Suzanna's clutches or will she lose him to the dark forces of the Abyss?

An intriguing tale of obsession, lust, and love striving to break free of an evil intent on crushing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, April 18, 2003

By	Shirley Priscilla Johnson "Author/Reviewer -... (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Who would ever quess that an obsessed woman could destroy a young man's life the way that Suzanna did? It makes my skin crawl to think about it.
Prince of The Wind begins with the young Prince being rescued by the Zonelanders from a year long captivity on an enemy ship. Riain Cree was only 16 years old and had not tasted manhood yet when the young Prince contacted Labyrinthian fever and had to be nursed back to health by Prince Gunter DeViennes' daughter Suzanna, who was still unmarried and untouched at the age of 29.
Suzanna became infatuated with the young Prince and drugged him, causing his body to become inflamed with desire for her. After their act of intimacy, Suzanna claimed the young Prince as her own. Unfortunately for her, his mother and father had other ideas for him and whisked him away back to his homeland. Even in this fictitious tale, my heart went out to Riain's mother, who would stop at nothing to save her youngest son. But her attempts were in vain!
Suzanna was insane and cursed the young Prince and all those he loved or would love. Selling her soul to a demon, she involved the powers of darkness to weave her web and claim him as her own. However, a sorceress named Maeve had fallen in love with the young prince and swore to save his life and be with him forever. Will her powers be strong enough or will Riain be lost forever in the dark Abyss?
The story weaves in and out with fragments of the paranormal, mysticism, time travel, witches, werewolves, vampires, and romance. Prince of The Wind is a tale of obsessive lust and undying love. What force will win?
A good read, especially for those who like a tale that makes the hair stand up on the back of their necks. This one may just give you a few nightmares!

5.0 out of 5 stars deeply vivid complex fantasy, January 3, 2003

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

In 1533 (on an alternate earth), Hesar kidnapped the youngest Prince of Chalea Riain Cree. He frees himself only to be captured by the Northwinds aristocracy. When Prince de Vienes learns the identity of his prisoner, he quickly realizes that their enemy's enemy is their friend as they fight Hesar and do not need to alienate the powerful Cree dynasty.

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.
