Anne Bishop made a great announcement….she’s writing another novel in the Black Jewels world. The Shadow Queen will be out sometime in March 2009, but to get us by until then, here’s a blurb from the jacket cover.
Dena Nehele is a land decimated by its past. Once it was ruled by corrupt Queens who were wiped out when the land was cleansed of tainted Blood. Now, only one hundred Warlord Princes stand without a leader and without hope
Theran Grayhaven is the last of his line, desperate to find the key that reveals a treasure great enough to restore Dena Nehele. But first he needs to find a Queen who knows Protocol, remembers the Blood’s code of honor, and lives by the Old Ways.
Languishing in the Shadow Realm, Lady Cassidy is a Queen without a court, a castoff. She is not beautiful. She thinks she is not strong. But when she is chosen to rule Dena Nehele, she must convince bitter men to serve once again.
Theran’s cousin Gray is a Warlord Prince who was damaged in mind and body by the vicious Queens who once ruled Dena Nehele. Yet something about Cassidy makes him want to serve and makes him believe he can be made whole once again.
And only Cassidy can prove to Gray and to herself that wounds can heal and even the whisper of a promise can be fulfilled
Yay, I found you!
Nice looking place you have here.
Awesome, more Black Jewels books! I have Tangeld Webs on order, I caved in my no hardbacks rule as I am so eager to read it. I hope to give it to my best friend when I am done with it and get a paperback copy when it is out.
