When Amazeen Aradia learns that her sister Orithia has been captured by the Rysalians, she leaves her world in disguise to return to the world of men to rescue Orithia.  However her disguise fails her when she runs into one of the few men that would recognize her.  Now Jaelen has threaten to expose her before she can rescue her sister unless she agrees to become his woman.  Is even her sister’s life worth enduring the pleasure of a man’s touch and the pain of losing that joy again? 

Enter a medieval world where men are in charge unless you go to the lands of the Amazeens, where men are the slaves; a world where the reader will witness betrayal from trusted sources and unexpected allies that might save the day.  Witness a love that might be the destruction of all that is held dear yet is impossible to resist.  Step into the world of the SHADOWLORD by Ms. Boyett-Compo. 

In classic Boyett-Compo style, the world building is so meticulous that the reader will feel as though they have left the planet earth and the characters are so lifelike that they spring from the pages.  Aradia had once loved a man and fears being tempted to do so again.  Jaelin is accustomed to being in charge yet is unable to control his feelings for Aradia, the one woman that he can not control.  Orithia will do everything she can to ensure she is Queen, if not of her own people then of the Rysalians and she does not care who she hurts to do so.  Kathleen watches from her silken prison and attempts to keep Jaelin safe.   

This reviewer heartily recommends SHADOWLORD to any readers who enjoy high fantasy with very strong romantic overtones.  Get your copy today as Ms. Boyett-Compo never disappoints her readers.
