by Anne Bishop

*NOW CELEBRATING ITS 25TH YEAR IN PRINT!*

In the first novel in New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop’s beloved Black Jewels Trilogy, a race of witches and warlocks whose power is channeled through magical jewels will meet their once and future queen…
 
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...

So, oh my gosh! What can't I say about this book that hasn't already been said. High fantasy and fantastic world building, yes please! I'm totally all in and now I need to delve back into this series and read the next book. I was kind of doing a buddy read with my friend, Molli Moran who was graciously kind enough to gift me with the series. She is an amazing friend and author, I totally love her. So, definitely expect a review on this coming soon.

Re-read this and still have some issues with the way the relationship between Jaenelle and Daemon is treated. Still not a bad read.
