title: Dark Reaper
author: Boyett-Compo, Charlotte
description: Book 9 in the WesternWind series.
  
  Iden Belial, the youngest Reaper, finds a great evil in Land's End. He also finds Kallista, his mate, the woman the Goddess intends for him, and the only way he can claim her from her disapproving mother is to sate his lust and make her his.
  
  But they are torn apart by the Nikkeson, a demon that brings death and destruction to everything it touches. Part of its wickedness is left inside Iden, warping the warrior and twisting him to its own evil ends. The Shadowlords of the Citadel are determined to heal him, but what Iden needs is his wife -- the only one whose loving and sensual touch can truly make him whole again.
  
  Inside Scoop: The intense, brooding hero of this book finds himself in pain when the woman he loves is taken from him, and the evil inside him doesn't care who it hurts, including Iden himself.
