In the year of 2458, the peaceful desert country of Kishnu was invaded by a powerful military force from Asaraba.  When the general presiding dies from a heart attack, the Sultan sends his only son Ardalan to continue the battle. Prince Ardalan is not happy about this conquest and when he meets Sitara, the oldest Princess of Kishnu, he sees a way to end the hostilities by marrying her.  However her father is not pleased by these events. 

When Princess Sitara is brought to Ardalan to heal his wounds she feels the hand of fate intervening.  Ardalan will be the man she will marry and love for the rest of her life.  Now if only their love will be given the chance to end the war. 

WIND WORLD:  DESERT WIND by Ms. Boyett-Compo takes her readers to another world with magic, love, and betrayal.  This reader found the story slow in the beginning as there are many new words and customs to learn.  However, the storyline soon picks up and sweeps the reader away.   

Ms. Boyett-Compo again shows her gift of developing characters that are wonderfully real.  All of the characters, both the primary and secondary, have their strengths and weaknesses that make them unique.  Sitara and Ardalan both have very strong personalities.  They have been raised to rule their countries and to put the well being of others in front of their own at times.  That is how their union begins but it quickly turns into a love match.  This reviewer absolutely loved Sitara in that she has a very strong sense of self and deals well with the prejudice that is showered upon her by one of Prince Ardalan’s men.  

This reviewer highly recommends DESERT WIND to any reader who enjoys fantasy, especially epic fantasy.  Rush out and get your copy today!
