In Queen of Darkness, Anne Bishop weaves a web as haunting and enticing as anything the Arachnian Queen could weave.
Janelle is now Queen of Ebon Askavi, Witch, the Black Jewel Queen the blood have dreamed of. Her coven the childhood friends who once descended on SaDiablo Hall and never quite went home.
Into this mix come Damon Sadi, slowly recovering - but not as strong as he appears - from his descent into Madness, Damian is discovered at the annual immigration fair by Lucivar and whisked away to the home that now radiates the dark, erotic scent of Witch in all her glory.
Also with Damian is Surreal, a couple of servants and Janelles sister. Their entry into the lives of those who people Sa Diablo hall brings memories to the surface and an innocent love refound.
Unwelcome guests arrive in the shape of Janelles Grandmother, Mother and Step Father. Alexandra, Queen of Challiot demands to see her granddaughter, but refuses to acknowledge the confused child she remembers as the powerful Queen before her.
A murder in Sa Diablo hall and attacks on the Kindred territories under protection of Witch convince Janelle that war is coming. In a tangled web she see's nothing but destruction and vows the territories won't go to war with the enemy. If the enemy arrives the will face Witch in all her dark glory.
Kidnapping, murder and the ever encroaching war awakes the side of Sadi the Blood should never forget and he goes to dance with Dorothea and Hekatah, to buy Janelle the time she needs as to rescue those he loves from the twisted minds of those who shaped the Sadist.
Queen of Darkness is the thrilling conclusion to the darkest fantasy series I've read. Love and light, Shadow and Darkness entwine in an erotic dance that makes this series one of the most beautifully written and realised fantasy's on the market.
Anne Bishop has followed up the original Black Jewel Trilogy with a stand alone novel Tangled Web - which I plan to review in the next month - and a new Kaleer based trilogy. For fans of fantasy and just those who love a great story, I can't recommend The Black Jewel Trilogy highly enough.
Queen of Darkness is Available on Amazon.com
