**Enter the dark and sensual realms of the Black Jewels in this sweeping
story in the New York Times bestselling fantasy saga of three young
women who must navigate life within the powerful SaDiablo family--and
come to terms with Witch, the Queen who is still the heart and will of
that family.
**
The Queen's price is to stand against what you know is
wrong. To stand and fight, no matter the cost to your court or to
yourself. Especially to yourself.
Zoey, a young Queen-in-training at SaDiablo Hall, is wounded...and
vulnerable to taunts and criticism. When an opportunity arises to
befriend a stranger seeking sanctuary at the Hall, she puts herself and
others in danger by ignoring Daemonar Yaslana's warning to back off.
Meanwhile, the witch Jillian's family prepares for her Virgin Night, the
rite of passage that assures a woman will retain her power and her
Jewels. The trouble is Jillian secretly went through the ceremony
already. Now she has to explain the omission of that detail to her
powerful and lethal family. And the High Lord of Hell's daughter,
Saetien, travels to Scelt to find out about Jaenelle Angelline's
sister--and perhaps to discover truths about herself.
With some guidance from Witch, these three young women will learn when
to yield because it is right--and when to take a stand, even if they
must pay the Queen's price.
