Resumen del Editor

A prequel set in the "dark and sensual world" (11th Hour) of the national best-selling Black Jewels Trilogy.

Jared is a Red-Jeweled Warlord bound as a pleasure slave by the Ring of Obedience. After suffering nine years of torment as a slave, he murdered his owner and escaped - only to be caught and sold into slavery once again. The notorious queen who has purchased him, known as the Gray Lady, may not be what she seems. Soon, Jared faces a difficult choice: his freedom, or his honor.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Plenty of adventure, romance, dazzling wizardly pyrotechnics, and [a] unique and fascinating hierarchical magic system...darkly macabre with spine-tingling emotional intensity, mesmerizing magic, lush sensuality, and exciting action, all set in a thoroughly detailed, invented world of cultures in conflict... The Invisible Ring will serve as an enticement, whetting the appetite to explore more of the realms in the Black Jewels trilogy. It and its predecessors are genuine gems of fantasy much to be prized.” (SF Site)

“[An] entertaining otherworlds fantasy adventure with battles and dangers and chases. Fresh and interesting.” (Chronicle)

“A weird, but highly diverting and oddly heartwarming mix.” (Locus)

reader is obnoxious

The story ties in perfectly with the rest of the Dark Jewels series. Talon is a character I was pleasantly surprised to get more backstory on. The reader however is incredibly obnoxious with his attempts at voices. Would have been better if he'd read it monotoned.

a fun off shoot story

more consistently paced that the first black jewel book but not as intense as the second two. This was a good break from the main storyline without having to leave the fantasy world or lore of the series. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Invisible Ring. Black Jewels Book 4

MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT WE ENJOY😄

A great sife-story in the Dark Jewels saga

This was excellently constructed and executed. A mad dash story that had enough twists to keep me guessing until the end.

Still good story but not what I expected

Not what I was expecting in the 4th book. Doesn't follow the first books in the series other being in the same universe. And the narration is spotty. Should have better editing. It was very distracting.

Loved it!!

I look forward to reading the next book in the Black Jewel series. I fell in love with this series years ago when I first read the trilogy.

very interesting prequel

a little bit jarring to go back in time after getting so caught up in the previous books. looking forward to the rest of the series

Another tale in the amazing Black Jewels universe

This is just another example of how much I love any stories set in this world. The characters were interesting and I loved the dynamics between Jared and Daemon.

Book 4 is Wrong

Beware....this is NOT book 4 on the series. This book is more 2 or 3 in the series if it even belongs at all. I was very disappointed in this book knowing that some of the characters in this story died or are no longer slaves from book 3. I couldn't get drawn into this story at all and returned it with a DNF label.

hard to finish

of all the books so far this is the hardest to get threw. the characters have no depth and the story is just boring
