Description
Return to New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop’s world of the Black Jewels—where a Queen has emerged from the shadows to bring hope to an impoverished people…
For years the Shalador people suffered the cruelties of the corrupt Queens who ruled them, punishing those who dared show defiance, and forcing many more into hiding. And even though the refugees have found sanctuary in Dena Nehele, they have never been able to call it home.
Now that Dena Nehele has been cleansed of tainted Blood, the Rose-Jeweled Queen, Lady Cassidy, knows that restoring the land will require all her heart and courage as she summons the untested power within her, a power capable of consuming her if she cannot control it.
And even if Lady Cassidy survives her trial by fire, other dangers await. For the Black Widows see visions within their tangled webs that something is coming that will change the land—and Lady Cassidy—forever...

January 4, 2010
The rambling eighth Black Jewels epic fantasy (after 2009’s The Shadow Queen
) doesn’t glow as brightly as earlier installments, but faithful fans will cheer to find Lady Cassidy at last on track to a happy ending. Plain jane Cassie, a Rose-jeweled queen, lost her Bhak court to prettier but bratty Lady Kermilla. She’s now recovered from the loss and ready to restore her new land of Shalador to prosperity. When Lady Kermilla pays an unwelcome visit, Warlord Prince Theran Grayhaven, pledged to Cassie’s service, starts making eyes at their guest. Fearing another betrayal, Cassie flees to Eyota, but her heart remains with Grayhaven gardener Jared Blaed. Bishop’s dialogue-heavy prose, ornate magical politics, large cast, and complex caste system bog down the narrative flow, and even the introductory guides will do little to enlighten new readers, leaving this one strictly for the fans.

With the end of the cruel reigns of corrupted Queens, the people of Shalador look to a new ruler with a mixture of hope and trepidation. The Rose-Jeweled Queen, Lady Cassidy, embarks on a quest to prove herself to those who must accept her and to the land that has gone so long without the healing touch of a Queen. Bishop's latest addition to her "Black Jewels" series ("The Shadow Queen; Tangled Webs") brings to the fore a heroine who possesses more courage than restraint and who does not hesitate to risk herself for what she loves. VERDICT A lavishly detailed, exotic background in which women exercise the power of leadership and jewels serve as the source of magic brings to mind the sensual fiction of Tanith Lee and Storm Constantine and should appeal to fans of dynastic fantasy.Copyright 2010 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
