WindVerse - Ardor's Leveche By Charlotte Boyett-Compo WindVerse series. Captain Ardor Kahn of the Riezell Guardians has been given a lethal assignment-infiltrate the royal palace of King Alejandro of Storia and assassinate him. As part of her cover, she is put aboard a penal transport destined for a work camp. When the transport is overrun by Storian raiders set on liberating the prisoners, she finds herself staring into the wicked eyes of the mysterious and deadly Lord Savidos. Prince Gabriel Leveche should be dead. After all, his father King Alejandro issued a death warrant for him, sending his son to a fiery execution. But Gabriel is a hard man to kill and he's come back from the realm of the shades as a Reaper-a shape shifter. Now known as Lord Savidos, Gabriel leads forces attempting to overthrow his tyrannical father while protecting his people. When he discovers a Riezell Guardian on the ship he has commandeered, he takes delight in matching wits with a member of the famed Guardians. The Reaper and the Riezell Guardian join forces to combat the immoral stranglehold of the Storian king and in the bargain discover that love-and lust-come when least expected.
