Control is more about perception than reality, a fact Aerolus realises all too well about his affai, a woman crafty enough to challenge him to a game he has every intention of winning, for a prize no less than her heart. Aerolus Storm, Storm Lord and Wind Mage, has no liking for the idea of marriage, and even less enthusiasm for the troublemaking female destined to be his. The Aellei are a mischievous race steeped in deception, with a true fondness for games. They make poor allies and even worse enemies. Self-appointed protector Alandra le Aelle has no intention of making things easy for him, especially since every glance at her beauty shatters his control. Wading through her illusions will take all the skill he's built as a mage, but finding the truth of her heart will take all the skill he's learned as a man.

This is the third book in the Storm Lord series. They just keep getting better and better. The premise of this series is that four princes are forced to come to earth to find their affai (wives) so that they can become powerful enough to defeat the evil trying to destroy their world. This installment in the series is about Aerolus the Prince with power over the element of Wind and his soon to be Affai Alandra. The concept is explored that being a creature of dark does not make you inherently evil. The Four Princes end up having some unforseen allies. It is short but well written and worth a few hours of your time
Aerolus, the prince of air, finds himself in the midst of a gale force when he butts up against Alandra and her darker ways of living. As a guardian of light, finding that his fated affai holds the powers of the twilight seem overwhelming. Until he realizes that they twine together stronger than ever.
