Queen of the DarknessMass Market Paperbound, 1 January 2000

In the astonishing conclusion of Anne Bishop's Black Jewels Trilogy, the Dark Court has been formed and the end--for some--draws exceedingly near...

Jaenelle Angelline now reigns as Queen--protector of the Shadow Realm. No longer will the corrupt Blood slaughter her people and defile her lands. But where one chapter ends, a final, unseen battle remains to be written, and Jaenelle must unleash the terrible power that is Witch to destroy her enemies once and for all.

Even so, she cannot stand alone. Somewhere, long lost in madness, is Daemon, her promised Consort. Only his unyielding love can complete her Court and secure her reign. Yet, even together, their strength may not be enough to hold back the most malevolent of forces.

And in the end, under the emergent shadow of evil and unforeseen betrayal, only Jaenelle's greatest sacrifice will save those she loves--and the realm she's bound to protect...
