This author ROCKS!
The Rysalian Empire had been near extinction. All their females were useless. When the men learned that the females from Terra could be impregnated by their race, they created Retrieval Units to abduct them.
Of all the warriors in the Empire, the ones known as Reapers were most feared. They were the elite, feared by men and women alike. Trained from birth to hunt and kill, then altered at the age of ten for other special talents, Reapers knew no fear and no love. Prime Reaper Captain Kamerone Cree was the best of them all. The Fleet called him "the Iceman".
The Resistance had noticed Cree's looks toward Dr. Bridget Dunne. With careful planning the Resistance had Cree taken to Behavioral Modification (Be-Mod 9) for "punishment". Unknown to the Empire, the doctors of Be-Mod 9 were really re-programming the Prime Reaper.
That was easier said than done, for Reapers were what Terra called Vampires. A bloodbeast lived within each Reaper. They were usually merciless warriors with a high pain tolerance, but whenever one entered into Transition the beast took over. The Resistance chose Bridget as his mate. Cree and Bridget would be used to change the Empire, whether they liked it or not!
***** A lot of torture takes place within this book. Anyone who enjoys the series of STAR WARS will find themselves glued to the pages of this novel! I do not care if you are male or female! It is a Dark Fantasy novel with a touch of Romance. I practically GROWLED at anyone who made me stop reading for even a few minutes. It is THAT good! Highly recommended to ALL Fantasy and Sci-Fi fans out there! *****

Fantastic Story; would make a great movie
I've read many of Ms. Boyett-Compo's novels but I have to say this is my favorite by far. If you like a strong hero with a tender side and a heroine who isn't into getting her shapely rear into trouble every other chapter, you are going to love Bloodwind. It kept me rooted to my chair until the very pleasing happy ever after ending. I just ordered the sequel, Darkwind, so I'm off to watch the mailbox until it comes!

Finally a book that has all the right elements for my tastes! Most sci-fi novels are too damned technical for me. I like a little bit of humanity with the tale. This was excellent writing and a plotline that satisfied. I will definately be trying more of this writer's works.
