Publisher's Summary
In this violently passionate, "darkly fascinating world", the Blood rule: a race of witches and warlocks whose power is channeled through magical jewels. Ambitions unfurl in this second novel of series, as the realm's dreams of a liberator have finally been made flesh: Jaenelle, singled out by prophecy as the living embodiment of magic, is haunted by the cruel battles the Blood have fought over her - for not all of them await her as their Savior.
Nothing, however, can deflect her from her destiny - and the day of reckoning looms near. When her memories return. When her magic matures. When she is forced to accept her fate. On that day, the dark Realms will know what it means to be ruled by Witch.
Listen to another Black Jewels gem.

What the Critics Say
"Bishop subverts readers' expectations; the 'darkest' powers reside in virtuous characters, demons and vampires are kindly, and Jaenelle's adolescence is more comically normal than horrific. Her vibrant characters and descriptions will keep readers hooked, anxiously awaiting what promises to be a riveting conclusion." (Amazon.com review)

"Another Great Dark Jewel..."
The continuation of the Dark Jewel series. Just as good, just as suspenseful and wonderfully entertaining. Sit back and enjoy...

"Good story but ......"
The basic story is great and very entertaining, but I'm not a fan of many author's excessive use of sexual depravity and abuse these days. By the end of this series you'll be very tired of hearing "he said too softly". Not sure what that means either.

"Excellent"
This continues the story of Jaenelle growing up and leading to adulthood. The narrator's voices are right on and I can't think of another narrator who would do a better job unless a bunch of people did it. He is spot on with all of his characterizations and all the different episodes that happen. If you know the stories from reading them, then you can understand the narrator and enjoy his naration. This is a great book and continues a great story! Can't wait for Queen to come out in a couple months!! Keep up the great work John Sharian!

"Excellent Narrator"
The Black Jewels series is incredibly engaging and John Sharian is one of the best narrators to whom I've listened. I highly recommend this entire series. Thanks Anne for letting me know when Queen of the Darkness will be released on audio. Can't wait!

"Great, but the narrator needs some work"
This is one of my favorite books to read, and hearing the story of Janelle, Saetan, Daemon, and Lucivar was terrific. The book is technically a transition book, continuing the story of Daughter of Darkness, and leading to the end of the tainted Blood in Queen of Darkness (which I am eagerly awaiting for on audiobook). It follows Janelle's recovery from her rape, growing into her power, and finally creating a court to save her people. My only disappointment was with the narrator. At times, it seemed like he got tired and lost track of what character was speaking and just used his "narrator voice." The other problem was that he used the same tone of voice for someone snapping something as someone whining about something.
