The Shadow Queen (The Black Jewels #7) 
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…
This one is a frequent re-read for me, an extra for Anne Bishops 'Black jewel trilogy' it is pure escape fantasy which I enjoy.Unrecommended for anyone who has not read the the trilogy itself, the authors favourite family all make their appearances as part - a quite large part - of the the story. Janelle, the High Lord, Sadi and Lucivar are all there and if you have not already met them in previous books you probably will not enjoy this one. If you have, one of the territories in Terrielle calls
These books are great in that they focus on lighter jeweled members of the blood (those who wear light colors of jewels are less powerful in this world). But the main failing is what was wrong with "Tangled Webs" - those who wear the darker jewels, be it Sadi or Lucivar or Saetan, come swooping in as Deus ex Machina whenever things get particularly rough. Yes, the other characters have to work out their issues largely on their own, but I would have liked them to work out their issues ENTIRELY on

This one was much better. Really enjoyed it! I wanted to dropkick Theran a lot though ... that boiiiiii. Loved everyone else <3
A touching story of healing, of love and hope. A story where neither the Lady, nor her Warlord are perfect. A story for the heart and soul! I love it to pieces!!!No matter how many times I read it, it will always be 5 fabulous 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
2.5 starsNot a bad fantasy novel but not a good one either. The writing was professional, but the plot, the characters, and the world-building didnt ring true. Of course, it is #7 in a series, but Im not tempted to read the first six novels. Neither the world nor its denizens attracted me.Bishops world is ruled by wizards and witches, but for some reason, she calls them Princes and Queens. They are a volatile race, with lots of magical powers but not much of humanity or decency. The story is
I just keep loving this world the author created

This not the book I'd start with if you're new to Anne Bishop or her Dark Jewels series. I'd recommend reading first at least the opening trilogy of Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows and Queen of the Darkness, and I think it would help to read The Invisible Ring, which forms the backdrop to this tale set in the territory of Dona Nehele, once ruled by that novel's Gray Lady.In Queen of the Darkness, Saetan told Alexandra that it's not magical power that makes a strong queen, and afterThis one is a frequent re-read for me, an extra for Anne Bishops 'Black jewel trilogy' it is pure escape fantasy which I enjoy.Unrecommended for anyone who has not read the the trilogy itself, the authors favourite family all make their appearances as part - a quite large part - of the the story.
