Description
Return to New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop’s world of the Black Jewels—where a Queen has emerged from the shadows to bring hope to an impoverished people…
For years the Shalador people suffered the cruelties of the corrupt Queens who ruled them, punishing those who dared show defiance, and forcing many more into hiding. And even though the refugees have found sanctuary in Dena Nehele, they have never been able to call it home.
Now that Dena Nehele has been cleansed of tainted Blood, the Rose-Jeweled Queen, Lady Cassidy, knows that restoring the land will require all her heart and courage as she summons the untested power within her, a power capable of consuming her if she cannot control it.
And even if Lady Cassidy survives her trial by fire, other dangers await. For the Black Widows see visions within their tangled webs that something is coming that will change the land—and Lady Cassidy—forever...
Reviews
Excellent continuation of the Black Jewels saga.
5By Dorian IThe way Anne writes is a delight. Mixing just the right amount of humor and seriousness. And the way she deals with characters who aren't nearly as powerful as the core characters from the original trilogy is wonderful, she doesn't down play the characters, she makes them think more, makes them even more personal. I'd recommend to anyone pick up the book, it'll make you curious and want to read her others in the Black Jewels saga.Not as good as original saga
4By Lexi2010I have been a fan of the series since the first book. Though the original characters make appearances, I feel that this new series does not have the same magic. It is a good book, and would recommend it for people very familiar with the characters and backstory. If you are not, overlook this book.
