The Black Jewels Book 2
This is the second book in the Black Jewels series. Jaenelle is still healing from Briarwood, but all her childhood friends come and help her. While Daemon is lost in the twisted kingdom thinking, he has killed her.
Where this story goes is up and down, keeping you from wanting to put it down. Jaenelle is still very innocent and ancient at the same time. Her character development is so well written. The introduction of the other children that are strong Queens finally helps you to understand where some of the stories Jaenelle was talking about come from. The world created in this series becomes more rich with the details that are in this book. This is a great story and I can’t wait for the third book in this series, Queen of the Darkness.

“In the second novel set in the “darkly fascinating world” (SF Site) of Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels Trilogy, ambitions unfurl as the realm’s dreams of a liberator have finally been made flesh...
The Blood have waited centuries for the coming of Witch, the living embodiment of magic. But Jaenelle, the young girl singled out by prophecy, is haunted by the cruel battles fought over her—for not all the Blood await her as their Savior. Some dismiss her as a myth. Some refuse to believe. And still others look forward to using her, making her a pawn to their shadowy devices.
Only time and the devotion of her loyal guardians have healed Jaenelle’s physical wounds. But her mind is fragile, barely able to protect her from the horrifying memories of her childhood. 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.”
