**
Anne Bishop's critically-acclaimed Black Jewels Trilogy is the saga of
one young woman's destiny played out against the backdrop of three
powerful realms...
Seven hundred years ago, a Black Widow witch saw an ancient prophecy
come to life in her web of dreams and visions.
Now the Dark Kingdom readies itself for the arrival of its Queen, a
Witch who will wield more power than even the High Lord of Hell himself.
But she is still young, still open to influence--and corruption.
Whoever controls the Queen controls the darkness. Three men--sworn
enemies--know this. And they know the power that hides behind the blue
eyes of an innocent young girl. And so begins a ruthless game of
politics and intrigue, magic and betrayal, where the weapons are hate
and love--and the prize could be terrible beyond imagining...
