The Black Jewels Trilogy established Anne Bishop as an author whose
"sublime skill...blend[s] the darkly macabre with spine-tingling
emotional intensity"(SF Site). Now, the saga continues in this
collection that includes four more adventures of Jaenelle and her
kindred...
Jaenelle is the most powerful Witch ever known, centuries of hopes and
dreams made flesh at last. She has forged ties with three of the realm's
mightiest Blood warriors: Saetan, the High Lord of Hell, who trains
Jaenelle in magic and adopts her as his daughter; Lucivar, the winged
Eyrien warlord who becomes her protector; and the near-immortal Daemon,
born to be Witch's lover. Jaenelle has assumed her rightful place as
Queen of the Darkness and restored order and peace to the realms, but at
a terrible cost.
Collected here are the beguiling stories about the origin of the
mystical Jewels, the forbidden passion between Lucivar and a simple
hearth witch, the clash between Saetan and a Priestess, and the choice
Jaenelle must make, between her magic and happiness with Daemon...
