Publisher's Summary

POWER HAS A PRICE. SO DOES LOVE.

Return to the dark, sensual, and powerful world of the Black Jewels in this long-awaited new story in the New York Times best-selling fantasy saga.

After a youthful mistake, Lord Dillon's reputation is in tatters, leaving him vulnerable to aristo girls looking for a bit of fun. To restore his reputation and honor, he needs a handfast - a one-year contract of marriage. He sets his sights on Jillian, a young Eyrien witch from Ebon Rih, who he believes has only a flimsy connection to the noble society that spurned him. Unfortunately for Dillon, he is unaware of Jillian's true connections until he finds himself facing Lucivar Yaslana, the volatile Warlord Prince of Ebon Rih.

Meanwhile, Surreal SaDiablo's marriage is crumbling. Daemon Sadi, the Warlord Prince of Dhemlan, recognizes there is something wrong between him and Surreal, but he doesn't realize that his attempt to suppress his own nature in order to spare his wife is causing his mind to splinter. To save Daemon, and the Realm of Kaeleer if he breaks, help must be sought from someone who no longer exists in any of the Realms - the only Queen powerful enough to control Daemon Sadi. The Queen known as Witch.

As Jillian rides the winds of first love with Dillon, Daemon and Surreal struggle to survive the wounds of a marriage turned stormy - and Lucivar has to find a way to keep everyone in his family safe...even from each other.

Anne Bishop never fails to deliver

I loved the story and the depth of characters. I found the narrator difficult to listen to, but pressed on. Some of the characters were made to sound so pretencious and the voices were a bit grating.

Another entertaining novel in the Black Jewels series.

It has Anne Bishop's usual mix of strong codes of honour, dark threats and wicked humour.

Love these books but disappointed overall

The black jewel books were some of the first books I read (late starter with reading), I have loved listening to all the audio version and hope that all the books eventually are available. I found the story was hard to listen to as there was a narrator change, by no means is Gary Littman a bad narrator but when you have listened to all the others by John Sharian you have an expectation of how everyone should sound. I re-read the book and loved the story once again. Great job again Anne Bishop.
