From Little Stack

The Black Jewels saga has been one of fantasy’s most underrated series for too long and more than deserves rediscovery by today’s romantasy readers.

For years the realm of Terreille has been falling into ruin thanks to its succession of cruel and corrupt queens. But change is in the air as a prophecy reveals the coming of a new Queen who will be more powerful than any before her. She's not only a Queen: She's a Witch.

Publisher Description

The dark and alluring first novel in New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop's beloved Black Jewels series introduces Jaenelle Angelline, a witch with astonishing power and a dangerous destiny, and Daemon Sadi, the lethal Warlord Prince born to be her lover.

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...
