New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop returns to the
"bewitching" world of the Black Jewels with a tale that will "leave
readers' hearts pounding" (Publishers Weekly).
The invitation was signed Jaenelle Angelline, she who had been both
Witch and Queen...
Surreal SaDiablo, the former courtesan and assassin, is the first to
arrive--only to find herself trapped in a nightmare created by the
tangled webs of Black Widow witches. And if she uses Craft to defend
herself, she risks being sealed in the house forever.
Now, Jaenelle and her family must rescue Surreal and the others inside
without becoming trapped themselves--and uncover the monsters capable of
designing such an evil place...
Includes the Black Jewels short story "By The Time The Witchblood
Blooms"
